Oh PLEASE. Beyonce who? Headline's skewed. Jennifer didn't thank ANY of her co- stars. They were all in the running, and she won, so why should she have thanked them? Especially the lime- light sealing Beyonce?

Beyonce who? Come on, she did not thank any other cast member, if anything, she should have thanked the other nominees (for not being as good! lol), well, i think all winners should give props to the other nominees anyway. I loved her on Idol, I think Simon WAS mean to her, i have rewatched some of her performances, and one can tell that the judges make a decision to back some and not others, and Simon, and Randy, often criticized her wrongfully, like when Simon said she oversang, 'Baby, I Love You'. i hope her CD contains funky music like that also.

The minute i saw the movie, i knew she would win awards. She is amazing with the best performance that I have seen since Whitney did 'I will always love you' in The Bodyguard. Jennifer, you have my vote for all time. We know you will do great and entertain us for a LOOOOOOOOG time!!!!

I loved Jennifer's AND Eddie's performance, but people should not compare them to anybody else in the movie!! Everyone was great in the movie, Beyonce played her part...it is just that Jennifer and Eddie stood out. and yes, by the way, I think Beyonce is genuinely glad for Jennifer, she was in tears, and i think happy for her. People need to stop hating on each other for no good reason!! I have never been a particular fan of Beyonce, but i have to give her credit for understanding pop music and 'Irreplaceable' was the first song of hers that I really liked. One has to give her props for her entertainment abilities.

Jennifer was wonderful in her performance. She does not have to thank anyone.
I respect her humility, faith and talent.
Reach for the stars Jennifer your talent is trully remarkable.

Why would she thank her co-stars, specifically Beyonce? It wasn’t Beyonce that got her the role, it was the Casting Director. Beyonce is not a 5 time golden globe winner whose experience in movies tops any other female to which Jennifer would be honored to work beside her. Jennifer doesn’t owe her anything and the movie did not draw the crowd it did solely because of Beyonce’s presence.

YEAH GO JENNIFER!!!!!!!! That's BS Jennifer does not need to thank Beyonce at all...I know if Beyonce would of won, Jennifer wouldn't have been mentioned so let Jennifer have her time to shine because everyone knows Jennifer was the brightest star in that movie.

Kudos Jennifer!

I think we are going to be seeing a lot more of her! And rightfully so.......I have hoped for a long time that someone would come along and remind Beyonce that there will always be someone better just around the corner. She has always had a poor attitude and I think this movie left all of us wondering just how close was this role to her real life? Have her and her father treated the other fallen members of Destiny's Child the same way Effie was treated??? Jennifer is humble and was appreciative to all of the right people Monday night! She is deserving of everything that comes her way! She doesn't owe Beyonce anything! Hopefully this will show Beyonce just where she is headed....ON HER WAY OUT...unless that smug 'better that everyone' attitide changes (which I don't see happening)

Beyonce who? Only kidding, but as far as I am concerned she owed no one a thank you but the one who gave her the gift and she did that. I personally felt she should have been nominated in the 'Best Actress' category. She certainly out acted and out sang eveyone in the show. Not to say that Beyonce didn't do a wonderful job also but hey, Jennifer had 'the' role and 'the' songs and she was superb! I also am very proud of her and look forward to seeing and hearing more of her in the future. I walked away from this movie (three times so far) with the same wonderful feeling that I did when I saw the stage play. You go girl! (I feel the same way about Eddie Murphy's performance). What a great show.

Jennifer Holiday was the star of Dreamgirls. I'm happy now that she was the supporting actress because now she can shine in her own right. She's terrific and her singing blew everyone out of the theatre. Whatever we thought about her singing before, she proved beyond any doubt that she os truly a star and will go a long way.

Jennifer is an amazing talent she sings with such passion like a true gospel & r&b vocalist very much like jennifer holiday the original,i'm sure ms.holiday is proud of her now beyonce can sing her butt off as well and very easy on the eyes so is ms. hudson but when u put the two voices to be hear the passion and fullness of jennifer hudson will always steal the show thank goodness true singer like hudson,fantasia etc. are being recognized again like the aretha franklins,glady knight of yester years.

She did thank the cast....Jan 22nd, 2007 - 20:43:57

She had an alloted time as the other winners did...and she was one of the ones that ran over. She did thank the cast....and obviously did'nt have time to thank each and everyone. I'm sure all of them understood. Let's dwell on the Positive- Because of the whole team- the Movie is what it is- and Jennifer is aware of that- being the humble and gracious person she has portrayed.

Jenifer Hudson is an 'anointed' singer, a title few can claim, including Beyonce. It's been years since I've heard such talent. Her talent is a true gift from God. Keep singing like God gave it to you Jenifer!

I that Jennifer has done a very good job in dream girls. She all her from the
heart and to be truthful she did not have to thank Beyonce.Because she was chosen for the part and she really played the the part of Effie.
