Whitaker, Murphy and Hudson Take Home The Gold
Despite its five nominations "Dreamgirls," hasn’t become a major box office hit having earned only $67 million.
However, at the 64th annual Golden Globes on Jan. 23, in Los Angeles, the film about a promising singing trio called The Dreamettes was a big hit.
In an the evening which many feel is a test drive to the Oscars, Eddie Murphy took home his first Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor as a struggling singer in "Dreamgirls." And Murphy’s cast member Jennifer Hudson, who played a member of the rising girl group based on the Supremes, punctuated Murphy’s award by winning a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe.
Hudson dedicated her award to the late Florence Ballard – an original member of the Supremes. "A lady who never got a fair chance," Hudson said.
Perhaps the best selection and one of the more moving moments of the evening was when a tearful Forrest Whitaker’s accepted the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a dramatic movie for his portrayal of Idi Amin in "The Last King of Scotland. Old Whitaker friends like Clint Eastwood lept to their feet in applause and appreciation.
