Beyonce’s dream of Oscar gold for the movie Dreamgirls is quickly slipping away. Not only is she being overshadowed by co-star Jennifer Hudson, but now the Motion Picture Academy is refusing to allow Beyonce to accept an award if the song “Listen” wins Best Song. Ouch. “Officially, she’s listed as one of the song’s four writers, but the motion-picture academy only permits three names - max - as a credit…The Oscars’ songwriting branch has decided to qualify only Henry Krieger, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler for writing “Listen.” No explanation is given for why Beyonce is excluded over the others. Is this just one of those cases of where the singer insisted upon having her name added to credits as part of her performance deal? In media interviews, she’s often said that she was truly involved in its songwriting. Apparently, not to the extent as her three collaborators, according to the Oscars.” I thought Dreamgirls was supposed to be all about Beyonce’s career. Looks like everyone else involved with the picture is getting all the good press while Beyonce keeps getting slammed. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again…karma is a bitch.
