Oscars for SURE!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2006)

This is one of the best movies I have seen in many years. Some of the casting was a little weak - Eddie Murphy????? - but the characters pulled the show off.
The performance by Jennifer Hudson was AMAZING!!! I can't believe that (as I hear it) Jamie Foxx was pushing Fantasia Barrino for the role. I'm not an AI fan and only heard of FB after she won the title, and had NEVER heard Jennifer until this movie. Fantasia has a good voice, no doubt, but she can't touch Ms. Hudson. If this show doesn't get at least nominated for several Oscars, I'd be very surprised.
Beyonce was a decent choice for her role, but her character was just overwhelmed by Jennifer Hudson. I've never heard of the other woman who was an original member of the group, but she played her part extremely well. And Jamie Foxx (his pushing for Fantasia aside)very believable in his role.
