Beyonce Disqualified For Songwriting Oscar


Oscar nominations are weeks away, but "Dreamgirls" star Beyonce Knowles is already facing a shut out in the Best Original Song category.

Though the former Destiny's Child frontwoman is credited on "Listen," a new song which was written specifically for the movie version of "Dreamgirls', there are too many co-writers for all of them to qualify for a statue. According to the Oscars rules, only two people are "normally" given statues in the category. A third can only get a statue if the organization's committee deems them an equal contributor.

Henry Krieger, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler are the three that the Oscar songwriting branch have declared eligible for "Listen," The Academy has confirmed to Access Hollywood. (

You already know what this means. Three roots boxes are on their way to the home of the co-writers of the song. Now before some of you take the liberty out of your evening to compose an online petition I have a bit of good news for you. GQ magazine has crowned Beyonce the "Hottest Woman In The World." Thumbs up kids.
