Studio puts Bee and J-Hud against each other...supposedly
Movie production studio denies the claims that they are pushing {re:promoting more} Beyonce for a Lead Actress in a Motion Picture Oscar nomination as compared to Jennifer Hudson. Read on for the exclusive from Females First Co.UK, "But an otherwise upbeat Anderson offers some words of warning for would-be holiday brides, adding, "Don't get married on vacation!" Studios Deny Pushing Knowles Ahead Of Hudson. Hollywood studios Paramount and DreamWorks have denied speculation they are pushing BEYONCE KNOWLES for a Best Actress nomination for DREAMGIRLS, ahead of the film's star JENNIFER HUDSON.
Internet reports claim former AMERICAN IDOL contestant Hudson's contract includes a clause which gave the studios the right to defer her performance as EFFIE WHITE to the Best Supporting Actress category, in favour of her famous co-star's turn as DEENA JONES.
A Paramount spokesperson tells the New York Daily News, "It was not contractual."
But a source tells the newspaper, "Jennifer doesn't see it as an issue. She can win as Supporting Actress. It's where she has the strongest chance." Yeah yeah yeah! I'm tired of these folks pushing J-Hud up with Bee! There is more than enough room for two lead Black chicks in the industry. Just ask Tyra and Naomi. Damn it, lol! {Source}
