After sitting through about 3 hours of pure garbage, I was elated when Jennifer Hudson and Forest Whitaker took home their Oscars. Jennifer won in the Best Supporting Actress category, while Forest Whitaker took it home in the Best Actor category. I’m a big fan of Forest and I’m glad he finally got his props from the acting world.

i’m very happy for Jennifer & Forrest.
ESP. Forrest
he was AMAZING
i did think that ms. notes on a scandal would beat Jennifer out. But im glad she won
BLACK POWER
black star power was in full force tonight. Even though Anika wasn’t nominated for anything her performance made a stan for life. She looked fab and sounded fab to. She killed it on stage.
After Eddie lost in the supporting actor i was kind of worried for jen. However I do think the coon-a-licious Norbit played a part in this.
im happy for J.Hud and Forest!
J.Hud is truly a star.
GO J-HUD GO, SHE DESERVED VERY BUT OF THAT AWARD. SO DID FOREST. I’M REALLY THINKINH NORBIT HAD A LOT TO DO WITH EDDIE LOSSING BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT IT ALL…
Congrats to JHud & Forest as well as Eddie Murphy & Will Smith they all are incredible talents.
Big Ups 2 Jennifer and Forest!!! I’m especially happy for Jen because she is such a beautiful, humble, and amazing person. Also i’m definitely looking forward to her debut album!!!
Go J-HuD! This girl continues to do it big in 07, and this is only the beginnig. Do It Girl!
i didnt watch it but im so happy for j.hud and forest whitaker.he is an amazing actor especially the role he played on ER not too long ago
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE GIANTS WON THE SUPERBOWL WE WERE CHEERING SO LOUD!! LOL LOL. I AM SOOOO HAPPY FOR JENNIFER, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS HER FIRST MOVIE…AND SHE SWEPT JUST ABOUT EVERY AWARD SHOW FOR MOVIES! NO ONE CANT TAKE THAT FROM HER…..EVEN BE-YAWN-CE WHO WAS PLAYING LIKE SHE WAS HAPPY SHE WON!
HEY BEY….MEMBER THAT OLD SAYING – IT’S WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE, YOU DONT HAVE TO SAY A WORD??? LOL LOL
first off im still upset that oprah and whoppi didnt get win or atlease nominated for their damn good roles in THE COLOR PURPLE BUT having hally and denzel sumwhat help with that and even though BEYONCE, EDDIE AND THE FILM IN ITSELF was ROBED frm its truly deserved winnings i am so proud for the awards they did recieve espicially JENNIFER i pray she goes ferther than other effies so with that said congrats to all those nominated and winners BUT truly to ALL OF OUR BLACKS FOR SETTING A GREAT EXAMPLE OF FOLLOWING UR DREAMSSSSSSSS GIRLS AND BOYS LOL
J-Hud do the damn thing! Forrest that speech was just honest and beautiful just like your heart, well deserved Oscar. Will Smith I Love U, you’ll always be an Oscar winner in my eyes.
What a way to end Black History month!!! Congrats to both of them.
Did anybody see Jennifer Holiday perform before the Oscars?
Damn I wanted Will to win. But I was also rooting for Forrest! J-Hud needs to learn how to give speeches! LOL!
go ahead and say I am hating! Hollyweird is setting her up for failure!
Forrest Whitaker is such a sweet, humble, and beautiful Person! And an amazing actor! I’m so happy he won, he deserved it! Go J Hud!!! Looking forward for great things to come her way!
@13 why would Hollywood wanna set her up to fail, why just her they don’t set nobody else up to so call fail. Like you said yo ass is hatin. Anyway, congrats to Jennifer @ Forest. I wish Eddie would have won. I also loved the Dreamgirls performances they all did great. I know ppl gonna get on here and say so and so out did so and so. But they all sung and looked great.
I mean congrats to Jennifer & Forest.
Go Forest! He has been in the biz for a minute and I am happy that he has gotten something for all his hard work! I was just wondering if any black actors ever won twice…one and only so far…Denzel!
I’m just so happy! Of course I didn’t watch the show but I am so happy about the results! I hope J-Hud gets lots of endorsement deals and acting roles so that we can have a strong black woman as a role model for people instead of ding-bats like Britney Paris (racist) Hilton and the rest of the plastic people. Forrest is great, he never does a bad job.
CAN YALL PLEASE JUMP OFF THE J-HUD BANDWAGON! ITS OVER THANK GOD. NOW SHE NEEDS TO BRING OUT A CD WITH HER BORING PERFORMANCE ASS! I SEE SHE DIDN’T TOUCH THAT I’M TELLING YOU SONG! AND HER CD WILL NOT GO PLAT! YALL FAKE ASS STANS!
FORREST WHITTAKER YOUR THE MAN! & ANIKA NONI ROSE IS FAB ALL THE WAY AROUND! EDDIE MURPHY…… hahahahahahah! WILL SMITH……….NEXT TIME BABY!
Congrats to Jennifer on her Oscar win. I can’t wait for her cd to come out , I for one will help it go double platinum.
YEAAAA FOREST!!! Unlike some people you actually deserved that Oscar. I think Eddie should have won over Jennifer…..I’m sorry but she wasn’t all that great of an actress just a good singer who delivered a good song in a mediocre movie BTW I think Beyonce` and Anika did the better job of performing live, screaming does not mean better Jennifer (and while were at it PATTI!!!).
@19 shut the fuck up
@21 grunting like beyonce also doesn’t make you a good singer.
Congratulations J. Hud & Forest W. do the damn thang! I agree with ya # 9. MrLightEyez, it was written all over Bey’s face when J. Hud won the Golden Globe! Bey stick to what you know best, singing…
Note: Sometimes its good to take the under-dog roles to get really good recognition!
There’s nothing more to say than: !!I’M SO PROUD!!
Well done to Jhud and Forest. They both deserved the gongs. they were awesome in their respective roles. I’m yet to see The Last King Of Scotland though.
@#12…that’s so true…it’s a great way to end Black History Month.
Congratulations people!
I know some ppl may think i’m hating hard on JHud, but i like ole’ girl, she can sing and she cute, but c’mon an Oscar already, r u serious. Okay homegirl did a good job, but look at Forest and other black actors, they put in good, sometimes great work for years and they rarely win an Oscar. JHud ain’t even pay her dues yet, i mean Halle Berry had to damn near do a porno to win one, Jhud ain’t even show a nipple, i mean wat the hell is dat about.
Jennifer won and deserved it, stop hating bytches! Congratulate or MOVE THE F*CK ON!!!
go jennifer!!!
WHY IS EVERYONE HATING ON JENNIFER ALL OF THE SUDDEN, A FEW DAYS AGO ALL Y’ALL WERE ON HER JOCK!!!
YES, THEY MIGHT BE SETTING HER UP FOR FAILURE, BUT THEY DO THAT WITH ALL CELEBRITIES. BUT IF ANYONE IS SETTING HER UP, ITS THE HATERS ON THIS PAGE WHO LOVE YOU ONE MOMENT AND HATE YOU THE NEXT.
THE ONLY THING TO HATE ABOUT J-HUD WAS THAT UGLY ASS OUTFIT SHE HAD ON THE RED CARPET. FASHION POLICE ARE GONNA ROAST HER ASS TODAY!!!
AND WHY IS EVERYONE SYMPATHETIC FOR BEYONCE (SITTING NEXT TO DADDY DICTATOR KNOWLES)??? SHE LOOKED QUITE SALTY WHEN JENNIFER WON!!!
AS FAR AS THE PERFORMANCE IS CONCERNED, WHO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR THEM TO PERFORM TOGETHER? ALL THEY DID IS SCREAM OVER EACH OTHER IN VARYING TONES…..THEIR VOICES DO NOT SOUND GOOD TOGETHER IN CONCERT. SEEMED LIKE JENNIFER WAS OVER-DOING IT AND BEYONCE WANTED THE SPOTLIGHT CUZ SHE HAS “9 GRAMMYS” BUT STILL NO OSCAR….
GO JEN GO; im so happy even tho by the time she won i waz so sleepy lolol. bey dress suck as well as her attitude she so phony maybe thats why daddy was wiff her and not jay. hes to embarrass and hatful he prolly sed “i aint goin to that shit you aint gittin nuffin” lolololol GO GO GO GO GO JEN GO GO GO. oh before i for git jada was so ewww wif dat homey hairstyle and will looked sad for some reason or another.
CONGRATS Jennifer…hooray for us black folks, AND dark “skinndeddd” women!!
Disclaimer: I didn’t like their performanace either-both were trying to outsang each other…
Why do some folks say the same shyt every year? u know and I know that’s how the Oscar’s r and that’s how it will always be. I could care less if more blacks won the Oscar’s or not, as if they give a dayum about our po azzes. I was happy for Jennifer and Forrest, more power to em. Beyonce with her fake azz and Jenn know her azz is fake to after saying that shyt last month about she should have played Elfie, jealous ghetto azz heffer. Last but not least, funniest shyt of all is how ordinary folks always getting mad about what white folks do to famous blacks when most of famous black men don’t even fugg with black women, smh.
Congrats F.W. and Jen
I’ve been digging FW every since A Soldier’s Story
Jennifer Hudson is so pretty.
JENNIFER SHOULD HAVE WORN THAT DRESS (IN THE PIC ABOVE) ON THE RED CARPET
Beyonce went OFF on Ms Jennifer Hudson!!!!!! She stormed her fierce on her own song!!! LOL LOL
I just watched the performance again and BEYONCE clearly OUTSUNG Jennifer’s church singing. LOL There was NO competition!!! Even with the power of Jennifer’s voice, it didn’t make it stronger than Beyonce due to the unclarity and poor diction. Beyonce’s voice rang out OVER Jennifer’s church runs. LOL
Jennifer was NOT holding back! She actually tried her HARDEST to oversing and it just didn’t work out.
Beyonce made it known that she is the better singer. Not only did she slay Jennifer, she also slayed Anika Noni Rose and the other guy up there. They were all ad libbing and Beyonce’s ad libs were more distinct and powerful than ALL of them!!
What happened was Jennifer was doing all of those church muffled screams and gospel runs while Beyonce was projecting the song to make it powerful and big. It takes more than gospel runs to turn a song. You have to know how to project your voice and excel the song. You cant just start singing crazy right from the jump. You have to carry the song to another level and emote.
I am truly impressed by Beyonce. She broke down Ms Hudson’s powerful voice with technique!
Black star power in full effect, so let rain, let it rain, and let’s get it, let’s get it. lol. Congrats to Jhud and Forrest W.
Me and my mom was jumping up and down when Jennifer & Forest W. won! They totally deserve the when. I was mad Djimon H. didn’t win for his performance (such a shame!)in Blood Diamond, Lea and Mark W. should have also won an Oscar for their characters in The Departed. I know its good that the Latin community it starting to get noticed but I’m sorry some of them didn’t deserve to win a Oscar! It was like the Spanish parade or something. Anywho, this Oscar was waaaaaaaaaay better then last years. Ellen was halarious!
Congrats To Forest and my girl Jennifer!!!!
I am soooooooo proud of Jen she has come a long way since they booted her from Idol. Her winning this Oscar makes winning Idol look so silly!!!
Its so sad how very little blacks are recognized for their work or win awards for a performances. We need to prove those hollywood stereotypes wrong!
And ppl please try to not make this Jennifer VS Beyonce, Jennifer did win, Beyonce was not nominated.
And Beyonce can not possibly outsing Jennifer, thats a laugh.
Her winning this Oscar makes winning Idol look so silly!!!
^
You aint never lie! Lol, Simon you’s a fool!
Congrats to both, well deserved!
During the dreamgirls performance I thought Jennifer was going to have a wardrobe malfunction the way those puppies were bouncing.
Beyounce “tried” to go of on Jennifer but she just sounded like she was screaming…jealousy was so obvious.
Congrats to Forest and J-Hud, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought when Beyonce and J_hud performed together I was watching that seen from “The Five Heartbeats” when *J.T. was singing against/with I think his name was Flash*
well done jennifer and Forrest..nice one!! beyonce for what its worth, you looked good.
1996: Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Maguire
Why didn’t Cuba win an Oscar for Men of Honor. That
was his best performance.
2001: Halle Berry, Monster’s Ball
2001: Denzel Washington, Training Day
Jadakiss song “WHY” already explains this.
Angel you forgot Queen Latifah for Chicago!
I liked Forest Whitaker in that movie.
@10
Oprah and Whoopi were nominated for the color purple.
@44
Simon didn’t vote her off, America did.
The bottom pic of jen is beautiful..U GO JEN…
I am so happy for Forest and Jennifer. Forest is an exceptional actor with such humility. Congrats to them both!
#49… Queen Latifah was nominated, but didnt win.
#38….You gonna post that comment on every post? Please limit your hating to one blog only.
(The performance reminded me of the “Heavy, Heavy scene in Dreamgirls “Your still too loud” -Curtis Taylor (Jamie Foxx) only direct it to the both of them)
Wow thats all I have to say!!!! I am happy for JHud but I was moved when Forest won.. He is such a great actr and when he speaks it is like poetry!!!!! It was well deserved for both of them you could feel the shocknes and like WOW factor, I can’t belive I did it!!!!

Again, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO FORREST — a really skilled, accomplished actor, with a wonderful spirit. He SO deserved that award. He is a masterful actor with a wonderful track record.
GO FORREST!

Lol, and…..What you want me to say?
@56
Nothing LoL I’m just sayin though
Congrats to both of them! They both deserved it.
I feel like a proud momma, even though im like 5 yrs younger than her.. but anyways.. Go on girl, when God has something in store for you, it’s YOURS!
You didnt have to play a crooked role or get naked in a movie 2 get that Oscar, some don’t get it.. BUT I DO!
The media could try and set her up for failure, but this girl’s blessed (if that wasn’t obvious).. I think God is the one setting her up for GREATNESS. So who want to try and mess with her, let them.. But I doubt it will budge her.
And a BIG Congratulations to Forest!!! He deserved that Oscar. WOW.. BLACK STAR POWER in FULL Effect!
*now only if every oscar award show was this good*!
im so happy for them it was jennifers time maybe beyonces time would come later. Congrats to all the winners and those nominated.
