"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 10/19/06 at 10:25pmI think Dreamgirls will be the next Chicago because of the response from Cannes and all the previews I've seen it looks amazing.

Yes, even though that is totally irrelevant.
I think Dreamgirls will be very successful. I don't know if it'll be in the Chicago category, but will certainly make lots of money.

Posted: 10/20/06 at 1:32amI hope it'll be the next Chicago, but I'm hmmmmming over the fact that Jennifer Hudson is being pushed as 2007's Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner but is not featured prominently in the trailer, except for a speed reading of a line about singing lead. Hopefully the intense marketing will not backfire and the performances will be brilliant overall (at this point, they have to be brilliant to justify the hype).

Posted: 10/22/06 at 2:35pmJohn Lithgow has a cameo as a film director, Jerry Ross, who has a meeting with Deena Jones (Beyonce' Knowles) about starring in a film of his. John Krasinski ("Jim" of NBC's THE OFFICE) also has a cameo in the scene, playing Steve Walsh, the screenwriter of Lithgow's film.
