That's the truth.
It's fucked up that a bad movie ruined what might be his only chance ever for an Oscar (I mean, he'd already won the Golden Globe), but it's exactly what happened.
Norbit should have been withheld until April, but I guess DreamWorks needed a Q1 hit more than they wanted the prestige/increased sales of having Dreamgirls win three Oscars instead of two. Makes business sense, but damn.
