Beyonce is Leading, Hudson Supporting in DREAMGIRLS Oscar race

We knew this weeks ago...

Oh God, this On-Topic Off-Topic bull**** is really irrelevant.

duh

beyonce will not be nominated but eddie murphy will be. jhud has a good chance of a nod and an actual win if she is lucky.
mirren, dench, blanchett, streep, winslet -- there is so much high-stakes work in the lead category this year, annette benning will go begging.

BrdwyThtr: I believe that for the Golden Globes, the HFP determines who should be in what category. For the Oscars, I think it's up to the producers to categorize everyone, hence for "For Your Consideration" ads.

Catherine Zeta-Jones lost to Renee Zellweger in the Leading category at the Golden Globes, then went on to win the Oscar in the Supporting category while Zellweger lost in the Leading category. So yes, there have been instances.

Beyotch hasn't even been nominated yet. All this 'talk' is about POSSIBLE nominations.

We can discuss this once the actual nominations come out.

Beyotch will get a Golden Globe nomination, but with the Oscars -- a big fat no.

I don't understand why this keeps taking people by surprise, nor do I understand why people keep thinking that the Oscar race is ever "fair."

This seems like a much bigger deal to people on message boards and in the trades than it would the women involved. If I were Jennifer Hudson, I'd thank my lucky stars that all the talk for me was supporting. She stands a good chance of actually winning that way.

Hudson in Supporting is fine with me......She'll have a MUCH better chance for success.

Also, Eddie Murphy has a big shot in the Supporting Category too!

That's pretty harsh and unnecessary paris, especially considering Ms.Holliday's past

The film WILL be nominated for Best Picture and Best Director.

Also, I have no doubt in my mind that Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson will both also be nominated.

And I strongly believe Jennifer will win... she's the only cast member who will win... thats how the academy will reward the film. Because as much as I loved the movie, I still think THE DEPARTED was better, and Marty will win the directing Oscar. And DEPARTED will probably take Best Picture as well.

As for Beyonce... please... have you actually SEEN the movie? Shes lucky enough to score a Globe nomination alone (if that even happens)... this is Jennifers movie. Beyonce has no shot in hell with Oscar.

I would think that Eddie has a great shot at winning as well... but Nicholson is in the race and you know how much the AMPAS love him. Plus he was awesome in the movie.

Most everyone who has already posted has hit the nail on the head. Beyonce will get a Golden Globe nod b/c she is an international star. She will not get anywhere near an Oscar nod.
The girl has terrible affect and is not a great actress. She has the Madonna factor. If she is singing and emoting, as in a music video, she is fierce and a force of nature. The child opens her mouth to talk and it is all over.
