the Jennifer Hudson stuff kind of makes me crazy because I don't think her actual acting in the movie is anything to write home about. She just delivered some great musical performances. But musical performances do not equal acting, to me.

I totally agree! I mean, she's great in the movie but this isn't the Tonys! Do we really think she's an Oscar-level ACTRESS? No. Eddie impressed me with the singing AND the acting, but Jennifer didn't. She was fine, but I don't want her to win.
