Driving Miss Knowles..... Crazy
Oscar nominations are out!! Dreamgirls scored the most nominations with 8, but was shut out of the Best Picture and Best Director categories, proving that this film is not 2006's Chicago. Worse, 3 out of the total 8 are in the Best Original Song category, meaning Dreamgirls can only win a maximum of 6 awards come Oscar night 25 Feb.
On to Beyonce Knowles...
On to Beyonce Knowles...
She is one of the above-the-title stars of Dreamgirls, and according to sources, she considers this her first acting role, and her pimply parents expected her to at least get an Oscar nomination. No. They wanted her to win. Sadly for the pimps, she was mentioned in almost every review of the film as the weakest link. Although she was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Golden Globes, she didn't win, nor was she expected to. She even showed up in an ugly gold dress, and pictures of her flashing her armpits were all over the gossip blogs worldwide.
Many thought Beyonce could make up to not being the strongest performer in Dreamgirls by getting a nomination in the Best Original Song category- she claimed she co-wrote Listen. But due to strict Oscar rules, she was not included as one of the writer of the song. However, may believed she could still make Oscar night a big night for her by giving an all-out performance of the song. Unfortunately for her, Listen in on the category along with two other songs- Love You I Do, performed in the film by Jennifer Hudson, and Patience, performed in the film by Eddie Murphy, Keith Robinson, and Anika Noni Rose. So now Beyonce is facing a risk of being upstaged by her co-stars, as well as having to watch Jennifer Hudson collect her Oscar statutette. Let's not argue about Miss Knowles' ability to sing live- she may be one of the biggest recording artists, but on stage, she's doesn't sound so good.
But Listen is a much more powerful song the the other two, Love You I Do is even said to be "too light" in the film by Jamie Foxx's character, so Miss Knowles better work hard to give a knock-out performance- she wouldn't want to be upstaged by a newcomer singing a light song. If she messes this up, she will come home that night as the biggest loser.
I just hope she doesn't flash her armpits again that night.
