: Two years ago Beyonce Knowles was edged out of an Oscar nomination by Jennifer Hudson - but this might be her year. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with two well connected insiders who claims that Beyonce's performance in Cadillac records was definitely "Oscar Worthy."
According to the first insider, Beyonce's performance as the drug addicted Etta James was amazing. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "Beyonce stole the show ... it was one of the best performances that I've ever seen. And I'm talking about EVER!"
And the strong praise for Beyonce's performance didn't end there. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with an actress - who is a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - who claims that she's SERIOUSLY considering nominating Beyonce for an Oscar. The anonymous academy member told MediaTakeOut.com, "Beyonce's performance deserves very serious consideration."
All we can say is ... WOW!!!

Well beyonces acting has never been impressive to me, but from the commercials it looks like she may have stepped her game up, so good for you B, good luck with the oscar. If she gets one, i hope she at least works hard for it.
On a side note, as nice as it is to see her perform at award shows, let not let Obamas day turn into another B-day. Please sign this petition to NOT have her perform at the inauguration!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/say-no-to-beyonce-at-the-inaguration
NOT BUYING IT. She is a horrible actress, and you can tell she is acting which is worse. Ever since Carmen Hiphop-whatever she has left a very bad taste in my mouth.
Now I am hearing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Brad Pitt is generating Oscar buzz and it isn't even coming out until Christmas Day. I would have to agree just by the preview alone.
Wow some many people tired of Bey at the top of the a.m. yet your posting your opinion on a blog about her?
*** stupid is all over the web this am
Support history you dummies, it's not about Bey or Etta, it's about how black music was stolen by whites e.g. rock and roll. Go and learn something and stop hating on Bey so much you might just open up your small minds to something more interesting than MTO's lies
if this is true then all i have to say is *** who the hell is picking the people??????she has no talent in acting and that's not hating it's the *** truth with jennifer it is natural with bey it seems she forces herself not a good actres at all she should stick to singing..some people jyst don't have it and she is one of them
You know, I just heard the trailor for this movie this morning, and the critics are mentioning an Oscar performance.
I feel the main reason Bey did this 'musical' was to knock of the still present sting of J Hudd beating her out for the Oscar in 'Dreamgirls' (and rightfully so).
But remember Bey, it takes more than good singing to win an Oscar. I'm curious if her acting is up to par at this point. If not, then forget about it!
ebonycity.heavenforum.com The hottest lil forum!
OK GOOD FOR HER! I BET BEY IS SAYIN EAT YOUR HEART JEN! IM WORTHY OF A OSCAR AFTER ALL! LOL HAHHAHA I NEED TO SEE THE MOVIE AND THEN I CAN TELL! CAUSE JENNIFER WAS WORTHY THATS Y SHE WON BUT WE WILL SEE HOW COULD BEY IS! GOOD FOR HER THOUGH!MAYBE SHE FINALLY SAY SOMETHANG TO JEN IF SHE WINS CAUSE SHE SHOWIN TOO MUCH JEALOUSY WHEN IT WAS JENNIFER TIME TO SHINE!
telbsavo if this is true then all i have to say is *** who the hell is picking the people?????? *************************************************
Oscars have NO MERRIT ANYMORE (Three Six Mafia got one) It used to be an honor to have an Oscar, Now they just giving them out to Blacks like hot cakes. It's just a popularity contest like the Teen Choice Awards. Nothin I really take seriously.
But I hope she do get one so she can stop being to mad at J Hud. *** that girl is so petty...
This is the kinda *** that ticks me off. You have women such as Angela Bassett who has been in the industry for AGES, and get looked over every single time for an Oscar. SINGING does NOT make you and actress. If you're playing your real life self in a movie, then it's not called acting. It's called, 'starring in a two hour video.' I can't begin to tell you how many black actresses have been trampled over, only to lose out to other women because America wanted to see white women with the title...now, a booty queen diva with no real skills other than singing, gets up and upstages women who should have been nominated and/or won long ago. Ruby Dee, another example. When is her day coming? Lena Horne? This is a *** disgrace. Yes, we want to see more blacks win, but we wanna see blacks who are worthy. Not just any one trick pony ho.
Well, other articles are saying that her acting skills have not improved and that the best parts in the movie of her singing. I'm just saying, stick to what you know booboo lol
Now Mos Def on the other hand can act his *** off. He's so versatile and I hope to see him in more flicks cause he's just amazing.
whatever this is so lame..
Beyonce fat *** cousin and PR team send half of these stories in just to create buzz for her.
RiRi publicist out most of them in an article. It is all fake more than half the time!!!!
Achocolate kate- you are so right queen latifah would have looked and acted way better but you know how white America is. Thing light that's the only thing that is right........
She said that she did a lot of work to get ready for this role on an interview that she had with Tyra. She will probably do a lot better this film. She seems to get better with each one. As for the album, I don't like it. I thought that if I was getting a double cd it would have more than 11 songs on it. Also, the good songs are all on the radio. I was disappointed. I think maybe she is doing to many things at once and starting to not have time to put her all into it. Just my opinion.
i agree with georgiapeach... even etta james said she doesnt look or sing a thing like me... i have two words about that ocscar... doubt it. beyonce you have mastered music, but acting takes real skill more skill than popping on a handstand while singing single ladies. two words for the oscar nomination: doubt it!
Who are y'all talking about. Oscar the cookie monster? This is Matthew Knowles spreading these rumors and I am fed up to here with *** and her wish list.
Hollywood isn't on enough xtacy or vodka to make them high enough to give this girl an Oscar.
Mark my words, when you see this film you'd think it was a comedy.
Wasn't this the same thing they said about dream girls. The same people who put those rumors out are now putting these rumors out. Why is it so important that she win an Oscar. Just because she wants one. That is just her camp putting those rumors out it's not true. She's not a good actress and it's okay. Nobody is going to be good at everything.
i dont understand why people call it hating when people are stating their opinions...i like beyonce a lot, i love her music, but she is a bad bad actress, and there are many good actresses out here, she is just not one of them. I am not a hater at all, but im not gonna say she deserves an oscar just cause of who she is and i like her. Her fam is def smart about everything tho...they know how to get that money
people can have opinions with out being haters...im so sick of that word anyway...
People have to think about this....how are you branching out when all you play in these movies is a singer. SO her role in this movie----singer...shocking. That is all they cast her to play because frankly she cannot act, her acting is horrible. Her accent is annoying. I don't see her growing as an actress. They only put her in these movies when they want someoe to sing. From what I hear, and I could be wrong, Etta James did not want her to play her. Probably b/c she has seen her acting too.
Don't wanna be rude, so I'm following my momma's advice. If you don't have nothing nice to say...
Still luv ya, B! Even though I'm mad that I have to listen to this album over and over again to really understand why people have said it's the bomb. What were you channeling, Baby? 'Cause I'm having a hard time going there with you. Smash Into You is hot though. I'll give you some more time. You can sing, after all.
I hope I didn't just disregard my momma's advice!
aint gon hap.
first off, she's only in the movie for 30 minutes and near the end.
second, too many indies and great performances for her to even be considered.
1) angelina's performance in 'the changeling' which is an oscar-loving clint eastwood movie. 2) anne hathaway's performance in 'rachel getting married' 3) kate winslet's performance in 'revoloutionary road' 4) THE DEFINITE WINNER kate blanchett in 'the curious case of benjamin button' 5) taraji p. henson in the 'the curious case' for supporting actress - she will get a nom for sure - she kills in this movie! kills!
beyonce doesnt stand a chance. maybe next year if she lands the role as tammy ferrell in the marvin *** biopic she may get a nod.
Liars. The only people who would talk to you, MTO, are people likely interested in black gossip...and such people would tend toward a hugely popular black celebrity's performance anyway. They're into that sort of thing. But the truth is, critics have said everything from it was a good performance to she can't act and ruined the film. Those critiques aren't conducive to Oscar gold. Sorry to ruin your thread with the truth. If you'd like to seriously advocate for some black actresses vying for the trophy, how about reading up on Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson, who are actually getting the Oscar buzz for their performances :rollseyes:
OMG!!!!! IM DONE WITH MTO!!! DO WE HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS WOMAN EVERYDAY OF THE YEAR FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR..*** 2009 HAVENT EVEN STARTED AND EVERYDAY FROM THE MONTH OF OCT TO NOW THERE R AT LEAST 2 STORIES A/B HER..*** THA BROAD RICH, SHE ON, SHE MARRIED TO THE ONEST *** IN THA INDUSTRY, SHE STAY IN MOVIES & THA ONLY THING SHE HASNT ACCOMPLISHED IS AN OSCAR..END OF STORY!!!!*** GET OFF HER NUTS OR THERE LACK OF..UUGGHH!!!!! OVER RATED 4REALS!!
Yeah right Taraji being nominated? Unless you are an uppity negroe that hangs out with white elite in Hollywood you ain't winning or getting nominated period. Jennifer won because she had a big *** white man making sure she one. And I see Beyonce's "active critics" are in here as usual. If you ain't seen the movie why judge on how she did? Maybe she took acting lessons? And um Jennifer Hudson was not good in DreamGirls. I thought Beyonce was better. Sure Jennifer is a good singer but her acting looks like acting. At least in the movie you didn't look at Beyonce's character and think of Beyonce shaking her *** to Crazy In Love.
Man, *** BEYONCE!!! She is so overrated.. I can't stand dat azz.. Everytime that *** Single Ladies song come on, I be ready to throw up...
ATLMAN - thanks for ruining my day... You haven't posted yet.. and your pic is the only reason I scroll down the comment section everyday.. *SHAME ON YOU* lmao - I was happy yesterday when you were 1ST on the main topic..
HONESTLY BEYONCE DOES NOT I REPEAT DOES NOT DESERVE AN OSCAR FOR HER ROLE AS "ETTA JAMES". BEYONCE WAS NAGGIN B4 THAT SHE WISHED SHE COULD OF PLAYED "EFFIE" AND THAT SHE WANTED TO GAIN WEIGHT FOR THE ROLE... RIGHT... *ROLLING MY EYES* NOW IN HER NEW ROLE AS ETTA JAMES, SHE IS PUTTING HER TONGUE BACK IN HER MOUTH. CUZ SHE AINT GAIN NO *** WEIGHT!! BEYONCE SHOULD OF GAINED SOME WEIGHT CUZ ETTA JAMES IS A BIG GIRL SIMILIAR TO EFFIE AKA JENNIFER HUDSON BEYONCE LOOKS REAL SLIM IN THE MOVIE. AND ON TOP OF THAT BEYONCE STATED SHE GAINED WEIGHT FOR THE ROLE!! NOW THATS A *** LIE THAT HEFFA AINT GAIN NO *** WEIGHT SHE KEPT HER SLIM FIGURE FOR HER NEW ALBUM *** PLEASE..... SHE AIN'T WINNING JACK!!!! MARIAH WILL WIN AN OSCAR B4 THAT FAKE *** HAG BEYONCE!!
To everybody commenting on Beyonce, why not see the movie first before you say anything else about how she's not "Oscar worthy." I agree that she wasn't in "Dreamgirls" but have y'all seen "Cadillac Records" to make an well-informed decision about how she's done in this movie? Y'all got the bootleg or something? She'll be judged for an Oscar based on what she does in THIS movie, not her previous movies.
As far as her acting goes, I agree that she wasn't all that great in her past movies, but I will say that you can tell that she is working on it b/c it's getting better. "Dreamgirls" is one of my favorite movies and her acting wasn't greatest but it was better than it was in her previous movies. I'm gonna go see the movie first and then I'll judge her acting based on how she does. (My main reason for seeing the movie is b/c of it's interesting storyline.)
And another thing, I don't get what's so wrong with setting goals and trying to achieve them. Y'all act like she's sitting up there trying to physically steal the Oscar. Hello people, you gotta try out for the movie. The casting directors are the ones who make the final decision on whether or not she's in the movie, not her. If they didn't want her in the movie, then they wouldn't have chosen her.
Awww, that's good to hear!!! I hope that she is nominated and hope she wins!!! She is a very hard worker and it's about time that she's recognized by the academy awards!!
I usually don't jump on the "beyonce haters" because I know everyone has their own opinion, but...don't worry about the naysayers, they just always try to keep you at a certain level and hate to see people accomplish a lot of great things! A lot of them are just miserable with themselves and their own lives that they'll try to bring you down in any way they can!!..smh
Do you, I'm proud!!!!!
Jennifer's 'Effie' character 1.) supporting actress role 2.) badass-type character who must overcome obstacle 3.) signature song- And I Am Telling You
Beyonce's 'Etta' character 1.) supporting actress role 2.) badass-type character who must overcome obstacle 3.) signature song- At Last
Beyonce and her people have studied Jennifer's Oscar nominating role and are now trying to mimic it. It's insulting to Black acting if the same type of 'shucking and jiving' performance keeps getting rewarded.
It just amazes me how folks keep yelling she aint got no talent, all she can do is pop and dance. Well kick me in my A** and tell my dancing aint a talent, ROFLMAO!!!!! Beyonce can sing and whether you like her or not, she does not need your support. Everybody keeps saying she is overrated, well so the F*** what! I wish I was overrated so that I can have all the people who don’t like me because I am successful hate on me. My goodness people. And the killing part is that most of you are BLACK. We should be proud that we have someone of her caliber putting it down the way she does. And to those who always say she cant act, well, maybe overtime she will get better. She didn’t start out as an actress so I am sure there is more she has to learn, but low and behold, she still gets the ROLE, regardless to what you think. Why cant BLACK people just be proud for a change, proud for the fact that here is a young woman who has been geared to sing and entertain all of her life, who actually reached her dream????? What did your parents instill in you that you are doing? Did they go the limits as her parents to help you accomplish them? People really need to grow the F*** up and stop all this ignorant WILLIE LYNCH TYPE hating. I applaud MS. KNOWLES in all that she does because she inspires people believe it or not. She is a beautiful woman and I wish I could take my daughter and do the same with her, not particularly that it has to be a singing career, but any career! I hope she gets the OSCAR NOD, we need more Blacks to have these trophies in their home. If she doesn’t win, at least this lets her know she is on her way! Hating is only a reflection of how you really feel about yourself, admit it or not
OK WELL I BELIEVE THAT MRS.CARTER IS A WONDERFUL ACTRESS AND IVE SEEN SOME CLIPS FROM THIS MOVIE WITH HER ROLE IN IT...AND SHE SEEMED PRETTY AMAZING AND CONVINCING TO ME AS ETTA JAMES. I REALLY THINK SHE COULD ACTUALLY BE NOMINATED AND WIN AN OSCAR....AND ALL YALL HATERS IF YALL TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT BEYONCE DONT CLICK ON THE EFFIN POST DUMB-A$$!!!!
B GONNA ALWAYS BE THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME...HANDS DOWN ...[[SHE DOES IT ALL]]
Congrats Beyonce, you've worked your tail off for every dollar you've earned. I know it wasn't easy, but you persevered through the pain and discomfort.
While these other women were dreaming of some rich man to appear out of nowhere and save them, you were busy building your own cash kingdom, and they're mad because they don't know where to start!
PLEASE!!!
Yall know Matthew aka Daddy *** begged the academy to create some buzz about her performance! Beyonce cant act! I hate her "acting voice" she sounds soo fake! That role should have went to Taraji Henson or Paula Jai Parker! Even Etta said she didnt really want beyonce to play her (but i guess they thought she will bring in more of an audience).
Maybe she should do a film where she imitates all of her haters LMAO, where she tries to look like them, work very hard daily, and make a minimal amount of money while hoping she lands a prince charmin while sleeping with the neighborhood. I bet there wouldn’t be enough film in Hollywood to record that!
@ISLA I am pretty sure she didn’t send this story ova LMAO. On the other hand, if she did, I think it works because she is surely getting a lot of hits on this page. In addition, the editors of MEDIATAKEOUT.COM have so many people on their team, you never know how they get this information. Who cares, I don’t, the point is that it is on here and I am reading it just like you.
I am going to start off with something bad and then tell something good.
Beyonce can not sing, her whole career is *** appeal; she can carry a tune but her vocals do not have any true pitch or range. I hope she keeps a sexy figure for a long time for if she gets fat it will look bad to see her trying to shake it to does semi fast songs. the only song I will give her credit for is the duet with the guy on the best man soundtrack.
Now for the good, I will give it to her, she hass pressence, on stage and on screen, Dream girls was not a good role for her but she pulled it off, I do believe that she will carry a movie someday and if what mto has said this is it. She has truly taken advantage of her opportunites and that is what you are suppose to do.
To mto you post she stole the show, I hope she did since the movie is based around bey's character. lol
It is slow day for me at work so I will be posting all day. To the reader who said her daddy went crying to the board to give her some oscar buzz, SO WHAT! That is what fathers and mothers are for! Are you upset because your daddy didn’t run to the manager at McDonalds and plead for you to be Employee of the MONTH, LMAO, no pun intended
@KINGE What is pitch or range and I know *** well you are not that well versed with Beyonce because anybody who sings knows she can go up the scale and pretty far down it. Have you not seen her live? She doesn’t use autotune, she doesn’t sing the song verbatim, she mixes it as she goes along. I don’t know what you people have stuffed in your ears but apparently its thicker than the wool on a sheep’s A**
Since when do Academy Award people talk to MTO and they would never discuss who they may nominate to anyone. I'm going to see this film and I truly hope the chick has worked on her acting skills because there's nothing worse than bad acting and she's done a lot of that in her *** career. Maybe she watched Lady Sings the Blues a few dozen times and actually learned something.
MTO, your headline is total BS. The ONLY one who may be talking are beyonce's pr people. The sag's know this woman can not act, she can barely sing. Enough with this bs and stop being part of it mto, ***, most of what you put on here is bs ***. It's a shame a person HAS to go to tmz or perez to get the real deal. What you think we are not capable of knowing talent from the lack of? I beg to differ and money does not measure talent aka paris hilton and so many others.
My girl friend works for the PR firm for the movie her dad shelled out xtra money for them to say that she gives a oscar winning performance. If you see the commercials than you will hear it. MTO got that directly from the promo commercials. They have no insiders. I saw the movie. She does not do a good job as Etta. A seasoned actress would have been much better. Mos Def killed it though. Pretty much how Eddie did his thing in Dream Girls. I dont see Oscar even nominating this movie. Its not on the top of their list. I personally think Latiffah should have played Etta. She would have killed it.
well i do know that she did overshadow her sisters cd by dropping PUT A RING ON IT..she does lil stuff like dat i dont like..but i guess she know she da isssh... 1. she has a very pretty face,eyes! 2.she has a body to die for! 3. she gives us a lil music thru out the years! 4. she dances 5. she can sing! 6. and she wants to act 7. all the men want her. 8. SHE'S THE CUTEST BLACK STAR WE GOT RIGHT NOW... so she must be the BOMB!
Usually when someone plays the role of a singer's life they usually don't SING.
WHY DOES SHE SING THE SONG "AT LAST" IN THE MOVIE? IS SHE TRYING TO OUT-DO ETTA JAMES? THAT'S AN INSULT! (I wonder if Ms. James likes the movie?)
JAMIE FOXX DIDN'T SING RAY'S SONG & IF HE DIDN'T YOU COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
you know what, this is really annoying why the hell should all these non actors get oscars?? or even consideration for an oscar when you have people like Angela Bassett and Will Smith who LOVE acting but they have yet to win one that *** is like a slap in the face. @ stophatin1st, so basically you're saying its okay for Beyonce's father to go around begging people to give his daughter handouts? what the hell that makes me slightly believe the theory that some of her success is because of payola. Her father should not be able to go the oscar committee and negotiate a deal for her to get an oscar because that just further enforces that people don't have to work hard anymore and that money can buy anything. If she gets that oscar I will be fully convinced about everything I stated above.
@ disinquiringmind
No. She's not tyring to outdo Etta. She's trying to outdo Jennifer as Effie. I'll post my comment again
Jennifer's 'Effie' character 1.) supporting actress role 2.) badass-type character who must overcome obstacle 3.) signature song- And I Am Telling You
Beyonce's 'Etta' character 1.) supporting actress role 2.) badass-type character who must overcome obstacle 3.) signature song- At Last
Beyonce and her people have studied Jennifer's Oscar winning role and are now trying to mimic it. It's insulting to Black acting if the same type of 'shucking and jiving' performance keeps getting rewarded.
I won't deny she is talented and hardworking and I am not trying to come off negative, but I highly doubt this. I can't quite understand why they are *** for her to be this Academy Award winning actress so soon in her acting career. J-Hud wasn't aiming to get that award. She just wanted to have a role in a movie. It is rare that a person receives an award so soon in their career. Plenty of good actresses have given stellar performances and not even received a nomination. We all know Angela Bassett should have received the Oscar for "What's Love Got to Do with It", and yet she didn't. These actresses put in the work and took a variety of roles to get themselves recognized. Does anybody really think that Beyonce is worthy of being on Best Actress status? Be serious. Not to mention, don't actors do this because of their love for the art of acting? Why is it about awards for this family? I am not saying she can't do it, I just think it is wrong for her to keep picking singing roles and then thinking she should be awarded for it. JMO
I am sooooo sick of this chick for real... I think she suck as an actress so if she did do a good job then good for her. I would like to see her do a movie that doesn't deal with singing.... then we shall see really how good she is as an actress.
[link to external website removed] lets give someone else the spotlight. Jill Scott, Jennifer Hudson, Angie Stone, India Irie, even someone from the gospel sence, Mary Mary, Vicki Winans, KI KI shepard, One of the Clark Sisters,ect..... You get my drift.
As a singer, I think Beyonce is a good performer, but she's clearly not a very strong actor. And that's the truth. It just hurts my heart to see so many hard working actors struggling for years to get their big breaks, closely studying their craft, while these singers/rappers get cast for these roles almost "automatically" because they're big names and have been in the industry, and will help sell tickets. What also hurts me is that some black actors who have been in this business for decades are so UNDERRATED, but yet so talented. And this very very mediocre actor is sparking up talk of some "Oscar Buzz." She must have made a DRASTIC improvement on her acting skills. I don't mean to sound like what you guys would call a "hater", but this is a very touchy subject for me because I am a young black actress, and it has definitely been a struggle. But before I say anything more, I'll have to see the movie first.
The movie is not based around her character. It' based on Addrienne Brody's character. Who created the record company. She is just one of the many singers that were on the label. Please learn your music history please. Also read Etta's biography then maybe you will see why she was not a good choice for playing her. We have to stand up and say to these people that they can not choose who we see as our talent and how we are represented. Angela Basset played Tina Turner and Killed it. She was not a singer at all, but you thought she was the real thing when you saw the movie. You thought Larry Fishburn was Ike for real. Now that's Oscar winning acting.
pinkloy, Hollywood is crazy but I think the new appreciation for independent films makes up for it a bit. Studios want to make money and often choose big stars to work toward that end, but independent films are often really artistic pieces, genuinely artistic and good, I mean. And there are indie flicks and several actors and actresses from the genre generating tons of Oscar buzz as well. So, my advice to you is rest easy for at least truly meaningful films and performances are being celebrated at last.
You speak the truth @ SunflowerKisses

@pinkl i know it hurts the real actors..but who are we to call them real actors..some music people are just better..mos def is a rapper that can ACT! Jamie foxx too *** everybody in the biz does it.either actors tryin to sang or sangers tryin to act..some of these people are so TALENTED.. they can been either or..so dont be mad!
@staypoppin... i see folks all day goin to acting skool, payin big time momas money to acting coaches..bottom line..YOU SUCK. so everybody can say their an actor..*** we all act BROKE when peep ask us for our MONEY..bwahahahahaha! but some people are multi talented...and beyonce is one of them..i have to give credit when credit is due.
umm, @ ROYALTGIRL, good observation. But I wasn't speaking of anyone in particular. lol Sure, there are some vocalists who are great actors, (I think Queen Latifah is one of many). But I am very knowledgeable on the history of blacks in Hollywood. We finally making it mainstream and it still could use a little improvements. And also I never referred to anyone as "real actors" Art is art (to me). It's just that some actors are stronger than others...a lot stronger. Would it be right to give Beyonce an Oscar when some of our other hella talented actors have not even received a nomination, knowing *** well they deserved one? lol
@ROYALTGIRL
of course their supporting her, the industry is rigged, how did Britney win those awards at MTV....she didn't win, they gave it to her, I guess the people that was behind bush is winning everything....Britney voted for bush when he was running, she said it...Beyonce voted for bush when he was running she said it too, it's like it's not even about talent are values anymore , which is sad. How in the hell is this movie an oscar buzz? The sad part about it, she plays the same roles as a singer in a movie, she's been playing the same role ever since she came out, and that's an oscar buzz? Yeah right! But you what else Eminem won an oscar and he didn't even care about it and didn't show up at the awards simply because he knew the only reason why he won because he was white......actually he didn't even accept it, he told them to keep it and to kiss his a**. This B**ch sold her soul to be in a secret society that caters to being famous and brainwashing these ignorant a** consumers.
i loves jennifer god knows i do..but this isnt a comparison..they have 2 different styles..jen.is a soul sangin neffie/aretha type. bey is a sexy diva/tina turner type.
jen has proved she acts better than bey..but black women we always comparing one another..guess what..its always someone better than you but u still do u!
@ PunchDrunkPretty wonderful observation. I agree, Indie films are a great and I try my best to get involved. I guess I should have put my point in a nutshell: When it comes to acting (as with everything else) you're either talented or you're not. Period. So to get back to the topic, I just don't think Beyonce has the chops. At least not yet. Not from what I see so far. But I'm only speaking for myself. Alrighty folks, have a blessed day. :)
This country is F**ked up, and you guys are behind these fake *** *** that really don't do anything.....and people want a change, F**k change, it's not going to happen, when people really start to care about one another and stop supporting the fake a** who**s , and that includes the celebrities that just want to be famous and have a name for them as appose to producing really great music and films. I hate this country, I really do, no one has values anymore about anything, the kids are not being taught correctly, their being taught by the TV, the media, the news.....all which is a bunch of lies. Lies look so *** good to the human eye, and the truth look strange....people please open your eyes.
@timewilltell..ooh i didnt know that Beyonce voted for bush....when?? how do u know that?
if brittany can get her money..so can Bey..thats all im sayin!
@pinkl. i dont think bey needs an oscar..you gotta be hella good to do that..so yeah actors and singer wont be able to obtain that award WITHOUT A VERY VERY GREAT PERFORMANCE.. BEY is just doing all her stuff..she stay buzy..get it while u can..but i know a lot of grumblin goes on with that actor/rapper/musician gettin the role stuff..they never cast a nobody for a somebody role..that i learned.
people use the word hating in exaggeration since when is expressing one's thoughts and opinions considered hating...the bible says charity, humble, and love makes a great person not money ,fame, and beauty... so in that case me and countless others have no reason to hate. i love myself. i like my career, and society does not validate me. please and thank you
@timewilltell..i feel you on that!! i like meaningfull peep..with substance! i know she dont have a lot of substance..im not blind.but the young woman is black and she is beautiful and she keeps trying! thats all i want to point out..she gets an A+ for Trying Hard as a black woman in the entertainment biz.
@TIMEWILLTELL
If you hate this country so much, I am sure nobody is stopping you from getting a passport and moving the F*** from here LMAO. Maybe you can move to IRAQ and live your life there. Then come back and tell me how you LOVE AMERICA
AND OH< Everybody knows Jennifer Sings better than Beyonce, SO THE F*** WHAT!!! Why make it a competition when they are on two different planes or calibers. I am just glad they are both BLACK!!
@JenniferDeshae I feel what your saying, but to put another person down to ME is hating. Bey is not the best actress but each time she's on the screen she improves. Its just sad to me that ppl are saying she CANT do it she CANT do that. Put yourself in those shoes of ppl telling you, you cant achieve this or that. My point is Bey is getting what she has worked so hard for. SHE WILL WIN AN OSCAR.
And when will people acknowledge that despite it all, this WOMAN never sits down, she WORKS hard..Isnt that what people tell you to do, work hard so it will payoff? Hell I bust my *** daily at work, I wish I could make millions for doing something I like, whether you folks like it or not, I bet my bills will be paid, savings account banked, and tank full of gas
Royaltgirl
They hear you and understand you, but as you know, this is the way of the world. We were pit against each other since slavery, and we still see the affects of that today.
Plus experts say 88% of people conform to what other people say. The whole globe is a monkey see monkey do mess. Some people hate becaus they want to fit in the ish is crazy!
let me explain sumthing..again..SHE IS MARRIED TO JAY-Z!IMMA BIG FAN OF THE H TO THA IZZO!!!....SHE IS CHANGING I SEE IT..SHE IS GETTIN JUST LIKE HER HUBBY..AND HE IS THE SHIZZZZZZZZZZ! THINK..THEY HAVE BECOME 1..SO TO ME SHE NOW MRS.MARCIEPROJECTS,MRS.HOV.MRS.JIGGA.MRS. ROCAFELLA..MRS.DEF JAM..MUST I GO ON..SHE A NEW PERSON!! GO BEY YOU GET GULLY STRIPES FROM ME NOW!
I am not discrediting her work, but a lot of people including me believe her acting could use some an improvement.The main opinion or thought expressed that her inexperience shows onscreen thats what people are stating...and if that is hating then so be it. I am just enjoying for my first amendment rights. A singer playing singer? how hard is that? good luck to her regardless im just ready for real and raw talent to be appreciated once again in the idustry
@STAYPOPPIN01
and some people don't hate to fit in as well, they want to seem nice, but in reality and in their hearts they really don't agree, I don't believe in what you guy's definition of hate is, I believe people see the actual picture and speak about it, wouldn't' call it hate, it's a different view of it......don't be afraid to say what you believe, if it wasn't for people like that then you are your favorite celebs wouldn't be where they are today.....
HATE:
Hatred or hate is a word that describes intense feelings of dislike. It can be used in a wide variety of contexts, from hatred of inanimate objects (e.g. homework, vegetables) to hatred of other people, or even groups of people. Philosophers have offered many influential definitions of hatred. Rene Descartes viewed hate as an awareness that something is bad, combined with an urge to withdraw from it. Baruch Spinoza defined hate as a type of pain that is due to an external cause. Aristotle viewed hate as a desire for the annihilation of an object that is incurable by time. Finally, David Hume believed that hate is an irreducible feeling that is not definable at all.[1]
In psychology, Sigmund Freud defined hate as an ego state that wishes to destroy the source of its unhappiness[2]. In a more contemporary definition, the Penguin Dictionary of Psychology defines hate as a "deep, enduring, intense emotion expressing animosity, anger, and hostility towards a person, group, or object."[3] Because hatred is believed to be long-lasting, many psychologists consider it to be more of an attitude or disposition than a (temporary) emotional state.
WHERE DO YOU FIT IN????
yeah, its easy to say that but just think. When a person is a singer, their foot is already in the door to Hollywood. And they begin acting. Doesn't neccessarily mean they have a knack for acting. But producers choose them for sales. And of course its a lot easier to get chosen when you're "light skin" etc. (yep even in 08) LOL! It's a lot of things to discuss here, but I think yall get the pic
I cannot believe, though it should not surprise me, how people go at each other over Beyonce. Amazing. GROW UP, ya'll. That must be some 18 - 20 year olds posting that ***, arguing with each other about this chick, who don't know or care about anybody but herself.
Now, for the issue at hand, Beyonce has always worked hard, and she's improved as a result, in many ways, in my opinion. It's possible her performance could be fantastic in this movie, I'd have to see it.
I just wonder how empty your life must be if you spend all your time trying to do things that will have others (the world) approve of you 100%?
I gaurantee you, this chick isn't emotionally healthy because she isn't balanced. Some *** gonna come out in a book one day, sooner than some might think, cause nobody is perfect, yet this chick spends all her time tryna win at everything...sit down and breathe, Beyonce.
@timewilltell..i see watch ur gettin at..but this is a different day and time..Angela is my favorite actress in tha world!!!...the youth loves this Bey.***..she may not be ready to win an oscar..but she can get Ready..i was not liking her a few mths ago..but i have grown to respect her for what she do.and who she married too, and her mOMS IS HELLA IMPRESSIVE!
Beyonce should stick to music and performance. She's good at it. But I know absolutely, unequivocally, for a FACT, A FACT, that this "Academy member" that MTO claims they're talking to is non other than the lady from Beyonce's and Matthew's PR team. I promise. Yall need to understand how sneaky they are. Please use logic people. PR stunt? And I think this proves that money doesn't bring happiness or fulfillment because if it did, she would've been happy and fulfilled a long time ago...
LOL@MTO's LIE> "The anonymous academy member told MediaTakeOut.com, "Beyonce's performance deserves very serious consideration."
Yeah, okay "anonymous academy member"...member of WHAT academy; Tina's Academy of Tacky Couture. QUIT PLAYIN'! If ANYONE at MTO has a direct connect that high up in Hollywood WHY would they be affiliated wit MTO at all? They would probably have a real job and not deal in made-up rumors and gossip. Albeit fun to read and talk trash...it's not worthy of an academy member's dog breeder's time.
Jennifer Hudson EARNED EVERY INCH of that Oscar for Dreamgirls...Beyonce might win one for A song in A movie soundtrack....but it *** sure won't be for her acting abilities.
I think that people are beginning to confuse Beyonce's singing ability with her acting. I haven't seen the movie yet, but every movie she has been in has centered around her singing at some point in the film. I personally believe that in order for her, as a performer, to seriously be considered for an Oscar, she is going to have to step outside of her comfort zone and truly act. That's just my opinion.
Before I came on here today i said to myself I bet the headline story is about Beyonce.Surprise,surprise I was right! I am tired of MTO forever having stories on her is she the only celebrity yall could talk about? I heard she plays a small part in the movie and I bet the majority of it is her singing any *** way.The *** just cannot act to save her life.If she gets an Oscar which I seriously doubt,it will be a miracle!

Okay...Beyonce my girl and all but we need to find someone else to talk about. And I think it was baxby who said it best. In order for her to be considered a real actress she need to step out of her zone and actually act vs performing and having one or two lines here and there!
Hey Royal...Long time!!!! Tee...what's good!!! Lucky...hey babe how you doing and feeling???
Oscar buzzing does not come from the academy members. It comes from hearsay. Angelina Jolie would win before Bey; she's an accomplished actress with a very good movie.
Ever since Dreamgirls Bey has wanted the Oscar like Jen Hudson and who can blame her. However, these biographical movies are nice but theaters are becoming saturated with them.
@ebyspice: People who don't like the same celebs are called HATERS because those fans are opinionated and assume everybody must agree with them. Same thing for people against *** marriage or the *** lifestyle being called ***. Those words are tired and overused. If everybody thought the same the world would be so boring. If they want someone to agree with them 100% they should not be on a public message board.
Beyonce is a very beautiful woman, She seems a little manufactured (personality) to me. Who am I to judge, but I am entitled to my opinion, the way I can see Beyonce winning an award for this movie and honestly this may sound cruel but she has to get flatbacked by that pinktoe or somebody flatbacked her behind closed doors. She is a very all-around talented performer, the sums are greater than her whole part. But in this society Black Women are still portrayed as sexual beings, back ***, white men's jungle bunny fantasies, Halle Berry did a horrible job in Monster's Ball but to be honest she is a way better actor than B. The majority of Black women whom we refer to as the cream of the crop all end up with white men, MLK must be turning over in his grave, Malcolm X included. And Elijah is just plain disgusted. Hey I can't sit here and judge and these are just my inner thoughts, but we ain't that far removed from 1555-1964, you hear everyday about racist stuff going on in all aspects of live and who am I to tell someone who they can and can't love, you would never see any of the top white actresses have a love interst With a Black man, Jolie with Denzel but he was paralyzed so the subconsious message was he couldn't even use his manhood. Their career would be over. Well I just the magnetic forces of opposites attract are at work here for sure.
I agree with NoElleNo2. I can see her getting one for a soundtrack or something but best actress is going too far!!!
icandigit I think she looked sad and pitiful too but she aint hurting no more than Latavia and Latoya...she is such a phony and any sadness she feels is Karma bitting her in the ***!!!
Like seriously...I like to know who said she was getting better???? Did anyone not see Dreamgirls (She couldn't even cuss right in that one scene), Fighting Temptations, MTV's Carmen Hip Hopera, hell she couldn't even act on that episode of Smart Guy she was on. Most of her roles involve singing. When she's in a movie that doesn't involve the character to break out into song than I'll look at her in a different light. The "STANS" would call me a hater, nah I'm just callin it like I see it. I give credit when credit is due and clearly Bey don't deserve none for her acting skills. Stick to sing hunnie :)
I think this stiry is some BS just like every other story MTO puts out....but we still come on here every day to read it so why not post an opinion.
I don't think Bey is that great of an actress. She has improved from her Carmen days though (that was the wackest movie of all time) but she is definetly not Oscar worthy. I agree with those who are sayin that the seasoned actor and actresses like Angela Bassett deserve the awards. Bey needs to stick to the Grammy's. Can't blame the girl for trying to fulfill her dreams though, nothing wrong with that.
On the issue of hating. I don't think that people are hating when they say she can't sing or act or whateva. Haters are the people who call her every thing from bytch to ho to skank, *** her to hell and then make up a whole web page with a petition just to go against her. That is hating in my eyes and it is a waste of time and energy. People need to spend some of that time and energy trying to better their own lives, not down someone else's. But that is just my honest opinion, so whateva.
Girlsluvgems, I was thinking the same thing when I saw it. I said, everything she has done is coming back. I could also she had a wall up. She acted kinda phony with Tyra, like they were cool. Bey ain't bout to let nobody get too close to her. But the one she did let get close, her husband, thats whos gonna really hurt her.
I can see him puttin out a song airin all her dirty laundry, then denying that he was takin *** at her.
@kutenkinky I don't understand how she won and Oscar either I guess for her looks. Because I have always said that Angela Bassett is a way better actress. Halle can't even bring in a good box office with herself as the lead chracter. She has been out of the lime light since she had her child and no one seems to care. People are rarely talking about her. Please don't let Beyonce get an Oscar, that would be a slap in the face to all of the other well trained actresses.
@INCOGNITO911
You really think bcuz you're 16 and you haven't had a chance to *** up your life yet, that you can talk down on grown ppl? LMAO! Many promising young ppl have ended up as crackheads or homeless alcoholics in the street. You're book hasn't been written yet, you need to focus on you're future becuase what you're doing is blocking your blessings. Don't bother writing me bcuz I'm not interested sweetie, you need more life experience.
I was trying not to rain on Bey "Oscar parade of lies Day" but some STANS act like she got the Best Actress Academy Award on her dresser right now!!
Beyonce can not ACT!!! Get over it!!! And I dont need the guilt trip on how great she is cause my mind been made up on this chick!!
She can sing but she aint no Mariah Carey or Leona Lewis (*** SURE AINT NO WHITNEY!!) Hell she aint even NO MARY. Lets be real...
Some said she had a body to die for...bwahahahah!! 5 years ago maybe...today she is a hot mess. No boobs, manly shoulders, *** is gone....I could go on and on and on...
It's not HATE. Saying someone is a Murderer (when they are NOT) is HATE and HATEFULL.
It's just my opinion on what I see and what I hear...that's all...nothing personal. I just am not getting the WOW factor about her...I just dont...
@STAYPOPPIN01
you must be ignorant or just plain stupid, are you serious?.....well Madonna sells out tours and she can't sing, she can't dance, but yet she's a legend to many. Britney is the same. you think people are bright, you think people are not brainwashed in this world to believe if you dance around slutty, throw your privates in the men faces, you think they want bite.....Beyonce is a high price *** that kids are following but yet people want change to come, it's not going to happen with celebrities like Beyonce, Lil Wayne,Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane,Khia, Trina, Young Jeezy, Young Joc, Cassie, J-Lo, Christina Milian, Keri Hilson, Ray J, just to name a few . What happened to decent mature artist that have class? Oh that's right their fellow black brothers and sisters don't like that, they only like when an artist is everywhere no matter what they do, they could sell children to other countries, but hey if their making money blacks will support them. IDIOTS!
@Girlsluvgems -- EXACTLY!!! LMAO!
People use the terms "hate" and "hater" WAAYYY to flippantly these days.
At last check, a "hater" is someone who is JEALOUS and ENVIOUS of another's accomplishments.
KEEPING IT REAL and telling the TRUTH isn't hating. It's being REAL. Plain and simple. WTF?!?!
Now I could see if people start making things up, like for example, "Bey has herpes", "Bey is a Hoe", etc. Now that's "Hate", because now you're fishing and just being a sucka for the sake of being one. But if you're stating the truth, like "that quick weave-looking hair she's been rocking is lame" -- then is that hate, or truth?
I'm off my soapbox now! LOL
The Oscars has NEVER lived up to it's name so yes it is possible for Beyonce to get one...
Beyonce is a fabolous performer.
However, her acting is HORRIBLE!!!
I mean, my gawd!!! Her sister is a better actor than she is... so it is really hard for me to belive this one MTO
And I can't completely judge her acting until she steps OUT OF THE BOX and out of her *comfort zone* and actually play a character who doesnt share the same traits and talents as she does
LMAO@ the commentor (whom i won't name) who said j-hud only won an oscar because she had a powerful white man behind her well the reason she had power behind her was because of her performance in dreamgirls in the FIRST dayum place THAT'S when peeps jumped on the bandwagon and wanted to give her a record deal,offer her more roles etc etc so get the facts/story straight and beyonce has one of if not THEE best marketing team in the game that is why she gets so many deals/endorsements/roles etc etc so if ANY dayum body is going to have something given to her it is beyonce not j-hud get real beyonce has way more power in industry than j-hud and with her husband money with hers she dayum near a BILLIONAIRE but you going to say the oscar was "given" to j-hud?? smmfh at that b.s. j-hud DESERVED her oscar wasn't sh*t "given" to her CHI-TOWN STAND THE FUGG UP ENGLEWOOD DISTRICT STAND UP!!
lmao! MTO..yall lying azzes do not know anyone from the distinquished Academy of arts and Sciences. Furthermore, they are very private and would not divulge such information to a known gossip site. I have not seen the movie , but based on some of her prior movie and acting skills , i remain doubtful. I will try to get out this weekend to see the movie, before commenting. She may have brushed up on her Jennifer Hudson skill and actually improved! lol
@GirlLuvsGems...I agree with your post and I concur everyone is entitled to their opinion...but were you referring to Mary as in Mary J. Blige? I give you credit on the others, but no ma'am..Mary is not the best singer by far...she is a performer, but no where near being a great singer. (THIS IS NOT IN COMPARISON TO BEYONCE...THIS IS JUST OVERALL, PERIOD AS A SINGER)
isla78 Flag post ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOWS BEY'S CAMP SENT MTO THIS PRESS RELEASE. ITS CALLED HYPE! I'VE LOOKED AT THE OTHER OSCAR PREDICTION SITES AND NO ONE IS MENTIONING HER. KEEP IN MIND JENNIFER HUDSON HAS A VOTE WITH THE ACADEMY AS WELL AS OPRAH *************** i like bloggers that come with the facts. i was just about to google and find out the oscar buzz. you know you gotta double and triple check Mto. lol
@mtv hills...
girl, the world is about variety. Everyone is not going to enjoy the mature artist, let's be realistic about this thing now. I am not a huge Beyonce fan, but i did like her last cd. As i get up in age,,(i am now 29 and holding)...i like artist like John Legend and Mary J Blige more now. It's just a matter of choice and taste. Now my little brother on the other hand(who is 19) would never listen to John or Mary, but he likes Lil Wayne, Beyonce and Jeezy. Honey, we really have to have variety..it's necessary.
As far as being a smart, intelligent, positive and driven young woman, I will give it to Beyonce. She truly has her act together on all levels and she represents women in a truly positive light.
BUT -
HER ACTING IS SO SO HORRIBLE. I HAVEN'T LIKED HER ACTING IN EVEN 1 FILM SHE HAS STARRED IN. SHE TRIES TOOO HARD. BUT, WHATEVER WORKS FOR HER. GO BEY!
MTVHILLS
That was a pretty pathetic attempt to expose me as ignorant.
First off, Madonna has hits in every decade since the mid 80's. She deserves to be called a legend, I like some of her songs myself.
You fail to realize my ignorant friend that if you pulled all of the artist you mentioned from the limelight our youth will still be corrupted by the movies on TV that you allow your young relatives to look at, or the movies in the thatre you take them to go see.
I don't see you out there protesting any of the sexual images white folks put out there, just your own kind.
MTVHILLS
Change comes from education and opportunity. Things won't change until blacks get more job opprtunities instead of facing job discimination.
Beyonce is not going to bring the change we need as a people, and she also isn't the problem. I do like the fact that she gives back to her community, and helps out when she can! What more can you ask of someone?
IM SORRY BUT IF BEYONCE "WINS" THE OSCAR THEN JAY-Z BOUGHT IT FOR HER AS A LATE CHRISTMAS PRESENT. SHE STILL HAS EGG ON HER FACE FROM BEING OUTSHINED IN DREAMGIRLS AND YOU KNOW SHE CANT HAVE THAT CUZ SHE IS BEYONCE!! I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO HAVE EVERYTHING BUT SHE CAN NEVER BE OSCAR WORTHY!!! GRAMMY WORTHY YES...OSCAR NEVER. IF SHE WINS THEN SOME SERIOUS VOTES WERE PAID FOR!!!
themuse_since80 @ IAmSashaFierce, i logged in just to tell you that mathew's interns are not welcome in here. and if you want to plug something, it should be the harry potter of the family, Solange! stop treating her like she sleeps under the stair case & back her already! *************************************************
CLASSIC.....LMAO!!!
PEOPLE....WAKE UP....YOU KNOW BEYONCE IS PAYING HER COACH AND OTHER PEOPLE TO SAY SHE DESERVES AN OSCAR.
SHE CAN'T ACT. DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS CAME OUT? HER NAME WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT UNTIL LATER AFTER SHE PAID THEM OFF TO PUT HER NAME ON THERE.
BEYONCE IS THE MOST NON HUMBLE PERSON OUT THERE AND VERY SELF INVOLVED. LOVE HER AS AN ENTERTAINER BUT COME ON....
WHO PAYS PEOPLE OFF TO PUT THERE NAME IN MAGAZINES TO SAY THEY DESERVE AN OSCAR OR IS AN ICON....NO ONE PERSON DOES THAT BUT HER. SHE'S CREATING AN OSCAR BUZZ SO THEY WILL AT LEAST CONSIDER HER NAME ON THE BALLOT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR PEOPLE TO EARN AN OSCAR AND HOW TALENTED THEY HAVE TO BE? SHE'S JUST *** DOWN BECAUSE J HUD WON AN OSCAR AND IT HIT HER EGO.
SHE'S NOT EVEN IN THE MOVIE FOR MORE THAN 30 MIN.
WAKE UP AND KNOW WHO BEYONCE REALLY IS....
Seriously @ stay poppin, that comment about women waiting for some rich guy to come save them????? What the f*ck was J-Z for Beyonce? And wasn't she the same chick that sang a song talking about "CAN YOU PAY MY BILLS?" She didn't go "SOLO" until she hooked up with him. So she's fueling the dream of finding a baller,,,,, that's what SHE did. So don't down other people who accept this misconscrude theory that she herself promotes. JZ was Heavy in the game already and down with the skull and bones and all that illuminati sh*t. HEEEEEEE, brought beyonce on board and hooked her up with game. Stop it already. And seriously I think he told her from the gate, "Alright B*tch, if you can pull in X amount of millions for me I'll marry yo azz." Beyonce is beautiful but I'm from L.A. where you can go to Venice beach and see women left and right who blow beyonce out the water looks wise. So yeah, JZ picked a bottom B*tch azz pimps call it. The one who could make him the most money cause you know JZ has seen women that probably make beyonce's pretty azz look ugly.
And it not her critics that are bringing her down, its her obsessed STANS like Robo-Ho. If you did not check out her youtube page. She has this obviously photoshopped picture of Bey's COOCH all out in the open. Now that is crazy. It is her CRAZED FANS that is going to send her to the nut house. They track her EVERY move. She cant have any peace...I would hate to be in her position.
A Critic (as yall say HATER) only makes you stronger and better!!
It's this *** that got her up all ***
www.youtube.com/user/BEYDABESS
lmao at Bite_size,go figure, none of her parts require much but a pretty face and vocal cords... but calm down nothing is cowish about her, chick is bad
lmao at MTO promoting Beyonce oscar wish! How much practice she obtain with previous role failures, she should be an expert, practice does make perfect lmao
Dream Girls was an ok movie...
J Hud made that movie!!! Eddie was all mad he didnt get an Oscar, for what...he was bearely in th movie...
HERE'S SUMTHIN TO THINK ABOUT>>>
Why do you believe they picked her for that role....hmmmmm think about it..A role about a girl that steal from real talented girls and lives the good life off of her looks but has limited brain power and is led by a Man. Then the kicker is when he told her she had no soul and that he wanted her VOICE because it was commercial and could make him money. Beyonce WAS singing ALL the girl she played parts RIGHT!!!hmmmmmm wonder why she got the part????
hmmmmmmmmmm AND isnt it funny that Jennifer Hudson gets the Oscar!!! She was kind of new on the scene...hmmmmmm
She is not getting no Oscar. It looks like Hollywood want to burst her bubble as bad as the common folk.
And if she does, that's good too because every black person to get an Oscar has *** near disappeared...Either way...I wish she would just go away...lol
A singer playing the role of a singer. Originality if i ever seen it....
If you STANS want to see ACTING rent 'What's love got to do with it' and take notice of the type of performance a genuine actress delivers. If Angela Bassett wasnt "oscar worthy" for that performance, than "oscar worthy" holds no weight in my opinion.
BEYONCE DEFINITELY MORE DAN DESERVE TO WIN THE OSCAR SHE DID VERY GOOD ON THIS MOVIE I WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE HATTERS LIVE BEY ALONE ANYBODY IN THIS WORLD HAVE CHANCE TO BE WANT YOU WANT TO BE BEY DID NOT HOLD YOU HATE MONGERS HAND NOT TO BE WANT TO BE BEY WORK HARD AND IT SHOWS THE MORE YOU HATE ON OUR BEY THE MORE GOD AND WE HER FANS WILL LOVE HER FOR LIFE GOD BLESS BEY YOU GO BEY YOU DID A VERY GOOD IF I MIGHT SAY THA MY SELF
I really wish people would learn how to type complete sentences so people can understand (above)
Anyway @ Girlsluvgems, I see what your sayin but has anyone ever thought about the way she was raised. She was raised like a pagent child. The controlling azz parents force their child to perform for their benefit and the child grows up to be all messed up. Thats how I see Beyonce. She didn't have decisions to make as a child, she was always told what to do and how to do it. She has been doin this entertainment *** since she was 6. That's y she can't b loyal to friends cuz she don't know how to be. That y she is a robot, cuz that is how Matthew raised her to be. She don't have her own mind, that *** is controlled by her father.
It is kinda sad to me. If the price of fame is to not have your own mind, I will take my regular life any day over that.
Some of these posts are just as dumb as the people who post them. I am a Beyonce fan and nowhere did I say SHE WAS GOING TO WIN AN OSCAR, Secondly, nowhere in this little article does it say she says She is going to win an Oscar, it says someone wants to NOMINATE her. last time I checked, NOMINATE meant someone was going to place you up to be voted upon. LMAO
NO, Beyonce is definitely not the best actress in the world, hell, blind eyes can see that, but why we gotta compare her with all the other Black actresses who are well-versed in everything they do. Black actresses have always been downplayed and ignored, hell, Black actors for that fact. If it wasnt for affirmative action, hell I dont think the Blacks who have oscar's would have them because clearly, that was an award for people who were CAUCASIAN.
AND TO YOU FOLKS KEEP SAYING HER PARENTS CONTROLLED HER, RAISED HER LIKE A PAGEANT CHILD, SO THE F*** WHAT. I WISH MY PARENTS RAISED ME THIS WAY SO THAT I WOULD GROW UP AND REACH POTENTIAL UNLIMITED!!!!!! SHE HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE SHE WAS SIX AND THAT IS WHY NOW SHE IS A WORLDWIDE ENTERTAINER!!!! DONT U GET IT, LMAO.. I WOULD RATHER BE A ROBOT THAN A MINIMUM WAGE WORKER AT WALMART STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET BECAUSE MY MOTHER AND FATHER MET ON A ONE *** STAND AND i SOMEHOW GOT CREATED!
KEEP IT MOVING BEYONCE. THE BETTER YOU GET, THE MORE THOSE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE YOU WILL GROW. MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOLS, CONTINUE TO REACH NEW HEIGHTS, AS THE SONG SAYS, YOU JUST DO U AND IMMA DO ME!
EVERYBODY CALLING HER A *** AND HOE, NAME FOLKS SHE RUNNING ROUND HERE SLEEPING WITH, EVEN THE RUMORS IF YOU WOULD!
I BET IF 1/2 OF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY THIS WOMAN HAD, I WOULD GUARANTEE YOU WOULDNT GIVE A F*** EITHER...
YEAH, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH WHO CAN SING, HELL THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT IS BEING DONE, BUT CLEARLY, THERE IS ONLY ONE WINNER! WHETHER ITS LUCK OR FATE, THE GOOD THING IS THAT SHE IS PAID!!
KEEP HATING OR IF UR NOT HATING, KEEP PUTTING HER DOWN TILL YOUR LIL OLE EYES ROLL IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD BECAUSE IN THE END, BEYONCE IS STILL BEYONCE!!!
this is so stupid. i work in the entertainment industry and am well connected. i know well enough that 'oscar buzz' talk is simply for publicity.
news like this will make people go out and actually try to watch a movie in which beyonce is part of.
'oscar buzz' is meaningless. of course its true in some cases. but highly doubt it in this case. i dont think she will even be nominated.
