Delph, it's typical Hollywood advertising. The big name sells the movie and is put first - even if she doesn't have the biggest role. They are trying to sell movies, not assess who had the biggest role. Many people went to see Dreamgirls for *Beyonce* not for Jennifer Hudson (who was still a relative no name until after the movie debuted and after last night). Even though she was on American Idol, she has not been around as long as and does not have as many fans as Beyonce. It's not fair but that's obviously how they roll in Hollywood.

Just curious to know how you all think Jennifer feels about that. I even think Oprah was foul for allowing Beyonce to come out before Jennifer when she had the cast on her show. Jennifer was the main character.  |
