娱乐英语新闻:Walters to Oscar night: "I'm running out of gowns"

2010-03-04来源:和谐英语

BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Barbara Walters, the 80-year-old TV journalist and talk show host, said on Wednesday that she was quitting her Oscars television special after 29 years for the March 7 Academy Awards.

For almost three decades it has become a tradition for Walters to squeeze the emotion out of the nominees in her pre-Oscar interview specials.

"I felt like I had been there, done that, that I had interviewed the greatest stars and that wasn't so special anymore," she said.

This sunday's night, Walters will be back with "The Barbara Walters Special," featuring the veteran journalist interviewing Oscar nominees Sandra Bullock and Mo'Nique, as well as a roundup of the 93 interviews she conducted for the program over three decades, according to New York Times.

Television personality Barbara Walters arrives to attend the premiere of the film "Bride Wars" in New York January 5, 2009.

The Oscar night interviews, initiated in 1981, were, from the beginning, so special, but now it was becoming harder to be original because coverage of movie stars had increased, said Walters.

"It's not movie stars that are celebrities any more. You are a celebrity overnight, you are a celebrity for doing nothing, you are a celebrity for shopping." People don't have much to talk about," said Walters, "classic stars like Bette Davis are rare today."

"I'm running out of gowns," she said.
