I LOVED Jennifer's performance. Beyonce was. . .Beyonce. Nothing more, nothing less. Can't wait to see J. Hud rack up the awards.

I thought Beyonce did a very fine job. She was simply overshadowed by Jennifer Hudson.

Going to try to see it tomorrow with my mom. Looking forward to Jennifer's performance. Preparing myself to be annoyed with Beyonce because I've seen the movies that she has been in and don't think she can act much at all. But this sounds like a quality movie that they hopefully got a good performance out of her.

I can tell Beyonce worked on her acting.

Also, Jennifer Hudson can win Best Supporting. I don't think she or Beyonce would have a chance in the Best Actress category.

Loved it, though I thought it the acting didn't get REALLY good until the middle and end- the beginning made me wonder, okay, so where's are these great performances.

Jennifer was amazing. My mom had no idea who she was and loved her. I've never heard a theatre so quiet. I hope that her people handle her right and make the right decisions for her... she could end up having one hell of a career.

Beyonce was much less annoying that she has been in previous roles. I really do not understand why she was nominated for Best Actress. Not only because she was not really the lead, but that there was nothing really outstanding about her performance. To me, she has two acting settings- over the top (i.e. Foxy Cleopatra in Austin powers) and flat (most of Dreamgirls). She was pretty good in the last few sequences. But that may also be due to the role itself. I actually forgot that she was Beyonce, which was a good thing. She lost a lot of weight for the role and looks a lot different when she is so thin, and also when she has very little makeup on.

I thought that the rest of the cast was fantastic as well.

About the only time anyone in the room talked was when Jaleel White was on screen- everyone was like hey, there's Urkel!
