I saw the movie yesterday. What part of the film did Beyonce seriously deserve a nomination for Best Actress? I could barely remember some of her parts walking out of the theater. I was talking with the people who went with me to the movie, and we all agreed that Jennifer Hudson should have had the Best Actress Globe nomination. I will be extremely suprised if Beyonce takes home both awards, because she should only be taking Best Song. Is the competition that low this year in the actress category? Knowles was mostly perfect for the part, but she wasn't that great.
Set aside all of that, the movie itself is having a few similar aspects to Brokeback Mountain in terms of it being overrated, which could likewise backfire on the film's success @ the Oscars. Die-hard fans of musicals, Beyonce, and the story** will not address any flaws or speak of any negativity towards this one. Overall, I thought the movie was good-OK, but not on the level as some critics are claiming it to be.
And why did this have to be released on X-Mas day?

Again, D.G. wasn't that special; It would have been just fine on a Friday.
