All I can say is thank God Dreamgirls didn't get nominated. I never saw it, but I know a gay guy who likes it, and my black friends tell me I'm not down unless I hate gays. Also, I don't know how Meryl Streep got a best actress nod. Until now I wasn't even sure if The Devil Wears Prada was a real movie. And seriously, Jennifer Hudson should really be cleaning bathrooms instead of going to the Oscars.
