"DREAMGIRLS" WIN GOLDEN GLOBES TOP HONORS!!
By L.T. Dinwiddie
Jaime Foxx so eloquently spoke these words on the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
“DreamGirls portrays a pivotal point in American Musical History. The moment when a group of big dreamers created a new black sound and wrote it into the mainstream culture and it tells the story the way a story should be told—through music. With a brilliant creative ensemble and “Dream” cast, legendary stage production has been transformed into a film that has audiences cheering all across this country.”
Truer words couldn't have been spoken as this remarkable motion picture has unquestionably resonated with fans, capturing their hearts forever. And, at the 64th Annual Golden Globe awards its magic was undeniable as Jennifer; and Eddie took home the top awards of the evening (Best Supporting Actor/Actress), and the entire cast collected award(s) for Best Motion Picture-Musical or Comedy.
Jennifer Hudson’s Golden Globe win for Best Supporting Actress in a feature film proves to be a shoe in for the Academy. History has proven time and time again that usually when an actor or actress wins the prestigious Golden Globe Award that the highly coveted Oscar is on the horizon. During Jennifer's emotional acceptance speech, she sincerely expressed her gratitude by saying: “You don’t know what this does for my confidence as an actor.” Whether an Academy honor happens for Ms. Hudson or not, she now has a Golden Globe to place on her mantle for the rest of her life.
No matter what stern anti-Jennifer Hudson bloggers may say, the former American Idol contestant has arrived. All the hate in the world can’t stop her. So, I would advise all the nay sayer’s to get in accordance with her legions of fans and start congratulating the powerhouse vocalist, and now accomplished actor, on a job well done. Congratulations Jennifer.
Another star from the sensational all black casted film "DreamGirls" also has a reason to celebrate--Mr. Eddie Murphy.
With so many superstar actors like Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Marc Walberg, Ben Affleck and Eddie Murphy nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. The odds of a comedian (Murphy) winning an award for his portrayal as a soul singer desperate to hang on, in the Broadway adaptation—DreamGirls— seemed slim to none.
However, the Hollywood Foreign Press has shown us many times over, that where there’s a will there is most certainly a way as Murphy beat out all the other accomplished dramatic actors for the top coveted award. If you haven’t seen DreamGirls you need to run, not walk, to theaters. Great Job Eddie!
