Never new that, but I don't think his performance was Oscar Worthy or worthy of a Golden Globe, IMO. Its like a long-overdue award, what they alluded to earlier in the article. Eddie is a legend, and so he is overdue an award and that is why he will win or won the Golden Globe. Because Eddie's performance in Dreamgirls does not scream "oscar-worthy" performance.

I'm cheering for Jennifer Hudson to win. I hope she wins. You never know, but we will see.
