And I thought, ‘I’ve got to relax.
’So I smoked a joint, my home grown” to get calm before the glamorous Hollywood gathering, she explained in footage obtained by TMZ Thursday.She then described her shock when she was announced the winner of the prestigious prize and remembers trying hard to focus to just get to the stage.
Though Goldberg appears calm and composed in footage of her Oscar speech, her mom was on to her and called her out on being stoned.
"My mother called me and she said, 'You smoked didn't you?'" the current co-host of "The View" remembered.
"I know you're not supposed to admit that you smoked pot … but just because I do it doesn't mean you should," she added.
