JENNIFER HUDSON & FOREST WHITAKER DO IT BIG AT THE OSCARS!
Monday, February 26, 2007

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.
Here is the list of black Oscar winners from the past:
1939: Hattie McDaniel, Gone with the Wind
1963: Sidney Poitier, Lilies of the Field
1982: Louis Gossett Jr., An Officer and a Gentleman
1989: Denzel Washington, Glory
1990: Whoopi Goldberg, Ghost
1996: Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Maguire
2001: Halle Berry, Monster’s Ball
2001: Denzel Washington, Training Day
2004: Jamie Foxx, Ray
2004: Morgan Freeman, Million Dollar Baby
1939: Hattie McDaniel, Gone with the Wind
1963: Sidney Poitier, Lilies of the Field
1982: Louis Gossett Jr., An Officer and a Gentleman
1989: Denzel Washington, Glory
1990: Whoopi Goldberg, Ghost
1996: Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Maguire
2001: Halle Berry, Monster’s Ball
2001: Denzel Washington, Training Day
2004: Jamie Foxx, Ray
2004: Morgan Freeman, Million Dollar Baby
This list does not include winners in the Best Original Song, etc catergories. But damn, you would think more black people would get Oscars! Congrats to J.Hud and Forest!

Let’s define outsinging shall we. Outsinging does not involve some1 singing louder than some1. Jennifer had her night last night & got her Oscar. But don’t get it twisted, she absolutely 100% DID NOT, outsing Beyonce. She sang louder, yes, but not better. Hearing her sing live makes my ears bleed. She always manages to find a way to ruin a perfectly good song. Remember the Aretha Franklin tribute? Jennifer has no control over her voice. It goes everywhere in less than 30 seconds. Clive better get miss Hud some vocal teachers. B on the other hand shone in this performance. She has control, intonation, and you can understand her when she sings. Notice how when she performed she didn’t try and prove anything like Hudson becuz she doesn’t need to. She did her thang & did it without shattering eardrums like a certain Ms. Hudson.
For those saying that Beyonce was jealous when Jennifer was singing……….shm. At one point in the song they r side by side & B says “Sing it girl!”, now correct me if I’m wrong but jealous ppl don’t encourage others. STOP CREATING DRAMA WHERE THERE IS NONE! Jennifer is a good singer but B is better, just a fact of life, like gravity. GET OVER IT!

I am so proud of Jennifer Hudson and Forest Whitaker. I haven’t gotten a chance to see Dreamgirl but I did catch Forest in “The Last King of Scotland” and I must say, he did a fine job at portraying the Ugandan dictator…a psychopath with a humorous undertone. Nice work. I am always pleased when Black people receive Oscars.

AND THE ACADEMY AWARDS…….THEY RACIST AS HELL……
WHY FORREST W. HAD TO PLAY A CROOKED DICTATOR AND JENNIFER HUDSON HAD TO PLAY THE STEREOTYPICAL BLACK, HEAVY SET LOUD MOUTH WOMAN TO GET AN OSCAR!!!!!!!
EDDIE MURPHY DIDN’T GET ONE EITHER….BUT THEN AGAIN….HE LEFT HIS WIFE OF 14 YEARS ……GOT SCARY SPICE PREGNANT AND DENIED HE WAS THE FATHER……AND HOOKED UP WITH BABY FACE’S EX WIFE AND STARTED TAKING HER EVERYWHERE AND SH*T….AND THEN HE GOES AND MAKES A MOVIE KNOCKING HEAVY SET BLACK WOMEN…..AND THEN HE WONDERS WHY HE DIDN’T GET AN OSCAR……
SIMPLE….GOD DON’T LIKE UGLY!!!!!!!!!!
THAT SHIT WAS SUPPOSED TO END AT 11:30 PM….BUT WENT OFF AT TWELVE FIFTEEN IN DA MORNING…WTF…….
HAD IT BEEN THE SOURCE AWARDS OR BET AWARDS AND THAT JOINT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OFF BY TEN PM….IT WOULD BE OVER AT 9:58!!!!!!!!

I am so happy for JHUD and Forrest Whitaker. I have always been a fan of his.
However, this is sooo sad when we as black people can’t support one another and have to focus on all the negatives. We have two beautiful black women doing the damn thing, let’s support that. Instead of picking them apart. It seems to me that this so called friction between the two has been created by others like some of the negative, hating folks here. JHUD has said that her Bey and Anika clicked from day on and that there is no tension. She also says in her Vogue article, “I am feeling Beyonce”. As for Beyonce she has publicly supported JHUD many times. I just find this all so ridiculous and incredibly SAD!
Please let’s not turn on JHUD 5 years down the road and try tear her apart. These are beautiful and talented black women of different sizes and color. Let’s celebrate that and stop HATIN! Or maybe we should take it 40 years when we wouldn’t even be having these disscussions, because there were no Oscars, or Grammys for us to win.

I hate when people say that actors/actresses/songwriters whatever got robbed. The only way that determination can be made is if you sat and watched all nominated performances/listened to all songs. To say that Eddie Murphy was robbed is a slight overstatement. Did you watch Little Miss Sunshine? Did you see that performance? Probably not…but you’re just gonna say that Eddie got robbed anyway.

@38 - booooo, it was obvious that beyonce was trying her hardest to upstage JHud, she was singing so hard she was straining, while Jennifer had her voice flowing out naturally…
@62 - Jennifer, DID thank her cast, she just didn’t name all of them one by one….

JONI…I happen to agree with most of what you said. Jennifer has been around long enough to know better. She never mentions the cast other than in a general way. I would have like to hear her give a special shout of to Anika, Eddie, Jamie and Beyonce. She’s very rough around the edges. She’ll tone down after a time. I’m glad you mentioned Mary J. She’s a perfect example that people can change.
TEE…I agree. I think Anika sounded great last night. Beyonce and Jennifer need to realize that sometimes less is more.
VEE…Sorry. I didn’t realize you could comment only if you had positive things to say or the repetitive “go gurl”. Some of us notice that she needs to brush up on her etiquette. Excuse us.

Oops, they made a mistake when they let J. Hudd sing Beyonce’s sing with her, cause she killed it and song that song better than beyonce. Beyonce seem like she was trying her hardest to sing louder and deeper, close but no cigars. J. Hudd could whisper listen better than beyonce could sing it; sorry, real talk.
But congrats to everyone! I was too happy last night. Forrest Whitaker is so deserving, and its something about him that’s sexy, might just be me.

Damn, you guys nit pick the hell out of people’s acceptance speeches. So what she didn’t thank jamie, eddie, or beyonce personally, she didn’t have to. She thanked the damn cast, now move on. Does beyonce thank every single person who help her get the grammy, hells no, in fact she takes full credit for shit she simply contributed to. Does Eddie Murphy thank each individual on a film; no, nor does jamie. So people please, if that’s all you got to complain about, once again hating ass people complaining about nothing but bullshit; please congratulate to keep it moving!

Congratulations to Forest…He is a great guy, but I really wish Will Smith could of won something too…But thats okay…He is still a great actor in my eyes. I am sooooooo Happy right now for all our black people doing it big in the entertainment business right now. When J-Hud gave her thank you speech…she had me crying. The performance that Beyonce, Jennifer, and Anika did was great. I think Beyonce, J-Hud, and Anika sing very good together. Of course people are going to compare Beyonce singing to Jennifer Hudson singing because black people love drama…Its Stupid and its Childish…Grow the Fuck Up!!

J.Hud has a good church voice but all that heavy singing doesn’t make it the “best”. Her voice is strong….stronger than Mariah and Whitney’s…but it doesn’t make her BETTER. I prefer Beyonce’s voice and there is nothing J can sing to make me or most people I know prefer her over Bey. I congradulate her win but she won for singing….not acting.

@ TY, wow! to the fact that u think J-Tub is better than B. WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW! U obviously must not listen to good music if u think that J-Tub is better than B. I detected sooooo many wrong notes when Jennifer was singing. It was horrible. She was ruining the song “listen”. But thankfully Ms. b brought it home & made it better. J-Tub was ghetto as hell last nite with her titties flying all over the place. Act like u got some sense Jennifer. And Beyonce, don’t worry J-Tub has had her momment and now It’s all downhill from here. She will never have another momment like this. So I hope u enjoyed it. Cuz clive is gonna do to Jennifer Hudson what he did to Olivia. Ruin her career. Oh well, easy come easy go.

@152
Better doesnt mean louder, however, better does mean a better range, vocal quality, and the ability to maintain notes. Umm, Jennifer did all of that, please dont hate cause the girl naturally has a strong voice, her voice is naturally stronger than beyonce’s voice, dammit, she could literally whisper that song better than beyonce. Let’s be for real. I didnt hear J. Hudd’s voice straining, sounded natural, however, i did notice beyonce’s voice straining while she was trying to GET TO THE LEVEL of Hudson. So please, just congratulate the girl for her gifts and keep it move. No one needs a breakdown of their opinion. It’s some people’s opinion that jenn is just a better vocalist than beyonce, in terms of voice capabilities and so forth. The two vocalist have different singing styles and abilities, and jenn’s voice in my opinion is a stronger one. Beyonce is a pop singer, you know, as in lolli-pop, bubble gum kiddie/teenie bopper stuff, and jennifer can throw down with aretha, gladys, whitney, toni, anita, and mariah.
And you said correct you if you’re wrong, but jealous people don’t encourage others. Umm, yes the fuck they do when they want to fool others to think they aren’t a poor loser! Beyonce is extremely competitive and believe that bitch aint happy about that girl winning that oscar; and you’re a damn gullible fool if you believe that shit. Beyonce got egg on her face, she been running all around town last year saying 2007 was going to be her year; she is not a happy camper, however, she is good at putting on a good fake smile. And i hope she continues with that fake smile when J. Hudd continues her reign of success.

Maybe black people shouldn’t have celebrities, because of this post. What was once a post to celebrate and congratulate our black people soon became another bitchfest, because somebody had to compare Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce’ Knowles.
“Jennifer will never be Beyonce’”
“Beyonce’ is a spotlight whore”
“Beyonce’ is a bitch for not showing Jen any love”
“Jennifer is too fat to be a singer”
Blah, blah, blah. Yackity, smackity!
I agree with 171. Black people love drama.
Quit with this noise.
Let us grow the fuck up, and move on with our lives. It is not that important.

@28 do u honestly think halle berry deserved that oscar, all she did was make a porn film and woopi she wins an oscar. puhlease. i have no respect for an actress who does that.
people need to stop hating and congratulate jhud for her success. the difference between her and bey when singing is that jhud sings from the gut, she is emotive and can bring u to tears. bey is soo musically trained that she doesnt evoke emotion so frankly when i hear her sing i dont feel a thing.

#38 - You’ve got tin cans where your ears should be. Make no mistake, Beyonce’s a decent - if unremarkable singer. Sure her voice is pretty - but in my humble opinion, it’s also very thin. To paraphrase Jamie Fox from the movie, her voice lacks ‘personality’. Jennifer’s voice, on the other hand, has personality to spare; from her bottom (no pun intended) and midrange to her upper-register - there’s just something about its overall tone, that for me, makes it infinity more interesting to listen to than Beyonce’s. Having said all that, there’s clearly enough room for them both.

#68: I totally agree with you. most people are finding petty ass faults in j hud or beyonce and are hating on them for it. Y are you haters taking away from their accomplishments? I know there is constructive criticism but some of yall go too far! This is Black History and what are some of yall doing, talking a big load of shit and downplaying their achievements! Please, don’t make it BEYONCE VS J-HUD VS ANIKA, Beyonce sung the same way she sung at the Grammys, J-Hud was nervous (she just won the damn Oscar like ten minutes b4 the performance) and Anika did her, so Congrats to ALL!

Oh for fucks sake, you damn haters (yes I’m talking to YOU *points finger*) please STOP trying to turn this into a Beyonce/Jennifer rivalry!! I’m sure both of these talented and beautiful women have nothing but love for each other, but it’s always the bitter, sad souls, who are unhappy with their own miserable lives (yes I’m talking to YOU again…YOU MAD?) who enjoy drama or better yet, CREATING it. Misery loves company. *smh* You can’t expect someone to win everything all of the damn time. It’s called LIFE. You can’t always win at it, but you can make the best of it. Just be proud that they both have been recognized for their talent because we know Hollywood can be shady. Beyonce may not have been nominated for an Oscar, but she’s ESTABLISHED in the industry, no matter how you want to paint it. Jennifer is just getting started and therefore still has to prove herself. One movie is not enough. Hopefully, the album contains good music. Now everyone just fuggin’ relax.

Congrats to Jennifer and Forest. Man, Djimson Honsou should have for Best Supporting, I think he deserved it way more than allan who was in “Little Miss Sunshine” for only half an hour and died. He did a good job but he didn’t deserve it. If Djimson had won then it would have REALLY been a BLACK POWER night. But I was going nuts for jen. Hopefully Bey would get something later on, MUCH LATER ON because she really isn’t REAL when it comes to acting. I support her but she just isn’t an actress. Now the next black woman to win should be either Angella Basset or Kimberly Ellis…….those two woman can ACT!

I was happy for Jen, but her speech was ackward, and no I’m not a B fan by a long shot. But they both were trying to out sing each other and they both sounded a mess. Honestly Anika looked the best and sang the best. She had so much grace on stage. J is can sing hands down but its always so loud. On the other hand it was good to hear B sing more from the belly (depth) than the shaking high pitch she usually shares with the world.

i wonder if simon cowell is sitting in his dump truck still saying stuff like “there will always be people better than her.” will people still boo him or will they shoot him like in Scary Movie 3? if u want my input…i would just shoot. lol
Congrats to Forest and Jennifer Hudson. Jen worked her ass off for that oscar and for people to say she didn’t pay her dues, i think that her being a “supporting actress” is paying enough. i mean come on now, that movie WAS effie. Effie was a REAL dreamgirl. Dina was a ho. obvious? But Beyonce played her part well (even though it was a shitty part for her. maybe if J Hud was already famous, Bee shoulda got that part.)
@13 shut the hell up PLEASE shut up. i mean look at you. you’re commenting on a gossip site. get a life!
Performance…actually ALL performances were pretty cool. didn’t like the last one, but since im a HUGE fan of Celine Dion, i watched. i cheered, i went to sleep. lmao
hope everyone enjoyed the show cause i sure did. haters keep hating and did u happen to watch the barbara walter’s special thingy? J Hud made her cry. lovely singing voice. if Beyonce was asked to sing right then and there, she would have asked for water. but then again, that’s J Hud.

Other than winning an Oscar I am still waiting on one person who keeps claiming Beyonce is jealous of J-Hud to give me a reason why on God’s green earth would be Beyonce have to be jealous of Jennifer?
Beyonce is human like everyone of us on this board. Be honest and answer this question if you and your best friend were going up for a promotion and you both worked your ass off to win that promotion but your friend got it; you would be telling a damn lie if a part of you wouldn’t be a tad bit envious. But, selfless people would overcome that tad bit of envy and become genuinely happy for their friend. And that to me seems to be the deal with Beyonce and J-hud. You can lie and say you wouldn’t be a tad bit envious if you want but you, I, and God knows that 98% of people would be.

@ 174 WTF!!! I love how u think u noe Beyonce when u really don’t. B never said 2007 was her year. She simply said if she wins the oscar that would be great but she doesnt think she will. She is humble. I’ve met B, I should know. Jennifer will never b as big as Beyonce. Her look is gross, her voice is unbearable, and her personality is nauseating. I hope all her stans have enjoyed her 15 mins of fame cuz that’s it for her. She is destined to be a broadway act for the rest of her life. Ain’t nobody buying her album. Bye, Bye Jennifer. It’s all over.

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.

I would first like to say that I am happy for both Jennifer and Forrest.
I know a lot of people are giving Jennifer slack because she is new to the game but I don’t think that she is any less deserving. We all know that there are other A.A. actresses who have more experience and have paid their dues in hollywood. But we also know how the game is played. Many of our A.A. actors/actresses will have very successful careers and will never win an oscar. Is this fair? No!!!!!! But this like many other social and economic issues in this country when pertaining to minorities is not fair.
The award show was based on last years performance and she was a front runner. She did a very good job in the movie and she did an equally good job last night.
As far as Beyonce is concerned I don’t feel any sympathy for her. I don’t even know why anyone would even discuss her at this point. She is a very talented, beautiful, and smart young lady. She is more than able to share the spotlight for one evening. Yesterday was not about her and I am sure she was aware of that fact.
On that note I do have to say that I was more than a little disappointed with Jennifer’s interviews after the show. I tuned into E! and they were showing the post-award shows press interviews. Watching her answer those questions was like watching a train wreck.
If I could give her or her team one word of advice it would be to have her take a few public speaking/interview skills classes. You could tell that she was ill prepared for that portion of the evening. I do understand that she was nervous but she looked like a fish out of water and extremely overwhelmed. It was very hard to watch. Her team should have better prepared her. Hopefully as her career matures and flourishes this too will get better in time.

LMAO WOW YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE WERE SOME BEYONCE AND JENNIFER RELATIVES ON THIS PAGE THE WAY IT’S GOING. PEOPLE ARE GETTING REALLY DEFENSIVE ABOUT THIS. LET’S BE SERIOUS SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THINK ONE ONE AND OTHERS ANOTHER. THIS IS A DISCUSSION POST, WHICH MEANS PEOPLE ARE THROWING OUT THEIR OPINIONS. YOU’RE NOT GOING TO LIKE WHAT THEY SAY ALL THE TIME.
THE WHOLE BEYONCE AND JENNIFER THING IS GOING TO GET OLD WHEN ALL THIS IS OVER BECAUSE THE OSCARS AND EVERYTHING IS OVER. BOTH ARE TALENTED ON TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS AND TO SOME PEOPLE THEY MIGHT NOT LIKE EITHER BUT THATS THEIR OPINION. SO SOME PEOPLE CAN STOP POUNDING THEIR KEYBOARD SO HARD AND LET IT BE. OPINIONS ARE OPINIONS. LET THEM BE THAT AND MOVE ON.
BESIDES THAT HOW IS EVERYONE DOING TODAY? LMAO

u guys have got to be kidding me.
yes, jennifer has a way more powerful voice than beyonce,but beyonce has a lot mor range and vocal ability. Kind of like whitney and mariah.( But u can’t compare mariah to beyonce bcuz mariah voice is out of this world)
Anyways, it was jenn nigth, but beyonce did do better on her performance. jenn screams into the mike so she is being heard better, so automatically u think that she has a better voice. WRONG.
And another thing u guys have to be kidding me when u think that beyonce doesn’t support jenn. its so obvious she does. she the only one that stood up for jenn when she won besides BILL condon, sive the girl a fuckin break already damn. And didnt u see ther chemistry on stage, they were smilin and laughing at the end like they were all sisters.
People who sya that be cant sing , u guys are just hatin, idont see ur ass up on stage singin so therefore if u dont have nothing to say then, shut the **** up already damn.

…..um #28 r u a retard !!! It is NOT a good thing when a black woman HAS to show her goodies to get awards. Monster’s Ball was a terrible movie !!! JHUD showed her goodies, her ACTING/SINGING goodies. I know u r a black man and u r everything that is wrong w/the way brothas think about sistas. Get it together and think about what u say before it falls from ur lips. Is showing ass all that you think as black women r good for (and need to do in order to deserve praise). This is just upsetting on so many levels.
Who cares who outsang who, Why do we need to Pitt these sisters against each other anyway. Lets be happy that all they were able to grace that stage and get the praise and media attention. 10 years ago, this never would have happened.

Just a whole bunch of jealous hating ass bitches. I hate women like that. Damn, they both did good…people will fine anything to bitch about and say something negative about. Time a person gives a good comment, they’re automatically a stan. Just retarded!! Let ya’ll tell it Beyonce is the most bitter, jealous, overzealous, “stuffed down our throats” celebrity of all time! But put a post up of ol girl and they are the first one to click and analyze. LOL. Everyone knows you can’t sing or do something better than ever person out there….There is always going to be a person more talented thant the next. plus, if you ask me..the are in two different genres….They all did an outstanding job last night. Lets congratulate them all and stop with the comparison.
Some lame ass people on this site…fo real!

Congrats to Jennifer & Forest! I believe Jennifer won her award due to her acting not just her singing. Was it me or did B try to out sing Jennifer last night during their performance? I’m waiting for Will Smith to win an Oscar, he brought me to tears with his performance in the Pursit of Happyness. But I’m not mad at Forest. A BLACK MAN WON EITHER WAY!!!

# 19, It really DOESN’T MATTER whether or not her album sells (which by the way I know it will), REGARDLESS, it has gone down IN HISTORY that she is an OSCAR WINNER. So many actors and actresses have been in the business for “forever” and do not have the award, but SHE DOES, and no one can take that honor away from her. I wish her great success and I’m happy for everyone that won last night.

Poor Jennifer, her “fans” will not support her unless Beyonce is somewhere around.
I peeped this a long time ago. Her “fans” don’t have anything positive to say about her unless they also get in a dig at Beyonce. It’s like they’re obsessed. That’s how I KNOW they are not true fans.
BANDWAGONERS don’t buy albums, they don’t buy concert tickets, they don’t support your career, because they are all about the negative — about what somebody else is NOT doing, rather than what the person they supposedly admire IS doing.
This is what happens when you have overnight success, largely built on a fake, media-made rivalry and undiscerning people that eat it up.
Jennifer has been quick about squashing the rumors of rivalry between her and Beyonce and I’m sure it must give her a sick feeling to her stomach to have to keep answering these questions. I would be sick too, because those questions would have NOTHING to do with ME and MY talent.
The media doesn’t continually ask Beyonce about a fake rivalry. They keep directing the questions to Jennifer. It’s like they’re not interested in her unless there’s some cat-fight angle to the story. This is not genuine interest.
I have yet to hear an interview where someone asks her about her upcoming projects. They just keep focusing on A.I./Simon B.S. or Beyonce B.S. THIS IS A SETUP.
People on blogs are the same way. They are NOT GENUINELY interested in Jennifer. Most probably haven’t even seen “Dreamgirls.” They only care about the Beyonce angle, as evidenced by this post where it didn’t take folks long to go there.
It’s so predictable, and does not bode well for Jennifer. Her own fan site has like 10 regular posters, and that’s about it. She will have to stand on her own and that’s when the real deal will be seen.

You know, black people can make me so damn pissed, Im almost ashamed to be even reading this got damn post. I’ve seen ignorance but now I all I wish is that this post and damn gossip blog be shut the hell down.
I damn near was in tears when Jennfier Hudson won that award. I dont cry whenn people win awards but I felt some tears getting ready to spring. What makes me so upset is the blatant foolishness of you people. Ghetto ass people like you who dont deserve or never have sh*t. And I dare would not usually wish something like that from people of my own race.
I was so happy for this woman and It felt good that she got an award she had to work her ass off for. None of you probably wouldnt even know what that feels like. Blood,sweat and tears and you got ignant ass mofos like fools on this website talking about she dont deserve it. Well eat crow b@*&^es. Great things happen to great people.
Now as for Beyonce. I watch that entire award show. When Jennifer Hudson won, She was one of the two people who stood up for Jennifer Hudson and gave her hug. She had tears in her eyes from joy as she watched Jennifer accept her awrad. Not once did I see jealousy or envy or saltiness etched on her face.And dare I say she looked really happy for Jennifer. She and Jennifer both sung them damn songs. But no stupid negros like yourselves will turn this into a tournament between two women who cant even catch a break from their own damn people. Smh, you all should be ashamed at yourselves. I dont give damn about no white actors or actresses or what they do to their own kind. I care about my people and hope they succeed in life without people like you negros who thrive off of negativity and drama. Im glad you get a kick out of it.
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy

to all those who don’t know … Jennifer did not sing “And I am Telling You” because the songs they sang were up for original score. That’s why she sung the song she did. It was nominated for ORIGINAL SCORE..

the mexican woman in babel absolutely killed j-hud’s performance. she was fine in dreamgirls but it’s a joke to say she out-acted the lady from babel or some of the other nominees for that matter. as usual, the oscars got swept away by hype…remember titanic?

217 you said it best and made the best comment about the so called JHud bandwagon fans I have ever read on any board. I agree with you 100%. It’s a sad and damn shame that JHUD only has fans when Beyonce is mentioned.
I know for a fact JHUD said she is so sick and tired of people spreading lies and rumors there is a beef between the two.
It’s a damn shame Jennifer Hudson cannot be acclaimed the glory for her acting in the movie alone.
Poor Jennifer I really feel sorry for her because by next year, when a new girl in the game comes along the same people that were her so called fans will become her true enemies.
You know how it goes…people will say she thinks she’s all that, she can’t sing, she needs to sit out and she’s in the media too much…
Beyonce will then move into another direction in her career and whoever female she’s singing or acting with, these hater will become their fans and forget about JHUD.
These are the same fake haters that go to church and shout and give false praise to God as if he doesn’t know the hate bitterness they have in their hearts.
Haters you maybe fooling everyone else but God knows the truth.
Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Anika have alll been blessed with talents that God has given them which is why they living the good life and the rest of you haters are lazy and wasting time on a computer trying to bash someone you don’t know. It says just how uneducated and worthless you must be.
Peace

GET IT J-HUD….and I LOVe LOVe LOvE Forrest—he is so….so…dayum he’s just is what he is! I loved him since some movie I saw him in when the women was getting impregnated w/ aliens.
Shame on Eddie, though! I know he wanted to win (and I wanted him to win) but his ass coulda shown some team spirit and stuck around for the rest of the awards!
Ellen was too funny! (WTF cares where P. Cruz is from n e wayz….we know her azz aint Mexicano)
I hope Will gets one next!
Also, with all these dayum serious movies w/ substance and true-based events….I can see why DGs didnt make that category of best.
At the same time, WTF WAS MATHEW SITTING UP FRONT (AND TRACEY), But they put Anika and “CeCe”’s asses in the back??? That was fuked up with a side of sh1t.
LOVED the shadow dancers & the sound effects choir—-JUST WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ 174,I agree! I was TOTALLY embarrassed for B….it was quite obvious she was trying to catch up in the performance. Two different types of singers, point blank. Case in point: a performance by Pattie L verses Sade. Both great artist but two DIFFERENT types of artist. BTW I’m a great fan of both!!

PS: *Off subject* I like the new BG mini-logos (I prob real late)….and those pics r FIERCE (Tyra-esque)
Oh yea, it was nice to hear JHUD thank JHOL b/c in Essence, I was so pissed at what she had to say…humbleness will take her far.
Oh, and it was nice to hear her thank her BF…also, for a sec, I though B. Condon was Scott Storch!!!!!!!! LMAO—I was happy last night….I waited up to hear them call her name. Even though I dont have that great of a fondness for her….it was refreshing and I cant even “hate” she did the dang thing…..I was scared for her when she almost had the nipple slip while performing, but I was overall happy.
She and Forrest really pleased me. You betta get it JHud, and You Go Forrest!!!!!!!
Helen Mirrin was sweet.
