Ok so as we all know by now (or should at least, heard about), Oscar nominations were announced early yesterday morning and the musical ‘Dreamgirls’ led the count with a whopping EIGHT nods – three of which are in the category for best original song. Golden Globe winners, Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy both are nominated for their supporting roles in the film.
Meanwhile, Will Smith and another Globe winner – Forest Whitaker both have nominations in best male lead performances, while Djimon Hounsou (you may know him fom ‘Amistad’) competes in the supporting male category with Eddie for his performance in the film “Blood Diamond”.
Many people were surprised to see that ‘Dreamgirls’ was not nominated for Best motion picture of the year, but with eight nominations – I can say they’re doing pretty good.
Congrats to all the nominees, and be sure to catch the 79th Annual Academy Awards when it airs live on Sunday, February 25th. How do you guys feel about the nominations, and who are you rooting for?
Since so many people seemed to be feeling Teedra and what she’s doing, I decided I’d post this up (since someone e-mailed it to me). I’ve had this acoustic set that Teedra did for a while now, but since you guys here on CL seem to like her so much, I’m sharing it with you. I enjoy these few tracks because it really shows off Teedra’s voice. To me, Teedra is just a really impressive artist. Her writing, voice, and sincerity. Her debut album, “Complex Simplicity,” which was released in August 2004, was a masterfully put together album. These 3 songs come from that album. Enjoy.
