"Smoking cigarettes and pot every now and then are my habits. And I thought, 'I've got to relax.' So I smoked a joint, my homegrown," Whoopi revealed in the video.

"When he (presenter actor Denzel Washington) said my name and I popped up, I thought, 'Oh f*ck'...okay, up the stairs ... around to the podium … there's millions of people, get the statue, pick up the statue," she said of having to coach herself through the entire process.

But she couldn't keep the secret from her mom.

"My mother called me and she said, 'You smoked didn't you?' " Whoopi remembered in the clip. "I know you're not supposed to admit that you smoked pot … but just because I do it doesn't mean you should."
