Just pointing this out to you. I thought you might find it interesting.

*LOLLERSKATES* THE RACE CARD OMG! Did he watch nothing but the Best Actress category?! That is the only thing that could account for his somehow missing the fact that THREE of the four film acting trophies went to African-Americans. And the other award Beyonce was up for was won by ANOTHER African-American artist. That has to be THE most ridiculous thing I've heard in quite some time. (Okay, maybe not as ridiculous as the Attorney General's ideas about habeas corpus, but not far down the ladder.)

It sounds like someone is a little bitter that their daughter, 'the star' didn't win an award and the fatty did.

But I mean, come on, Meryl Streep? Everyone loses to Meryl Streep.

(Totally NOT calling Jennifer Hudson fat, btw)

I haven't even seen the movie yet but I know about the premise. Is it not ironic to the max that she played a character who was promoted above others because she was not "too black"? I doubt I even need to pursue it further. lol

Totally off topic, but was there more backstage interview drama than there's been in a while?

Well, certainly from the Grey's Anatomy people. :P I haven't heard about any Dreamgirls drama; I think a lot of people are tempted to make up stuff between Jennifer and Beyonce - I guess because they can't believe that Beyonce would allow anyone to "steal" the spotlight from her. Which jibes with everything I've read about her personally, but whatever.

And yes, I find it highly ironic that she played a character who was given the limelight over a more talented vocalist because she sounded less black, and that now Mr. Knowles is whining about black artists being overlooked. Which - again, HELLO - is so ridiculous considering there were an unprecedented number of black people who DID win awards that night. Just because Beyonce and Will Smith didn't win doesn't mean that Hudson, Murphy, Whittaker and Prince don't count. >.
