Jennifer Hudson Joins Jackson Tribute, ‘Winnie’ Poster Released

Published: Friday 23rd Sep 2011 by Rashad

Jennifer Hudson has seen herself in many-a-headline this week.  Aside from announcing the 3rd single to be lifted from her sophomore album ‘I Remember Me’, the songstress has been receiving quite the reviews from her depiction of famed South African activist Winnie Mandela in the new biopic ‘Winnie’.  The poster for the upcoming flick, seen above, was recently unveiled.

Fans can see the trailer here.

In other J.Hud news, reports have surfaced that the ‘Spotlight’ singer is the latest to join the Jamie Foxx-hosted ‘Michael Jackson Forever’ tribute with the likes of their former ‘Dreamgirls’ co-star Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Ne-Yo, and more.

    Normally I don’t use the word “flop” but it seems appropriated. FLOP!

  4. S*** (U MAD?) September 23, 2011

    FLOP!!, Leave the Legend roles to King B:

    Diana Ross in DREAMGIRLS
    Whoopi Goldberg in OBSESSED!
    ETTA JAMES in Cadilac records
    Barbra Streisand in STAR IS BORN

    Jhud needs to stick to what she does best: SCREAMING…

    Cuz, Bey coming for Her OSCAR!!! 🙂

    Why all the hate? I am glad she continue to gets acting roles and I will wait till this movie comes out to rate it. I would not rate a movie based on a poster. That is dumb. Also, Beyonce has nothing to do with this post so why are all the crazies comparing her to Jennifer Hudson.

    1. Bey is alright actor, not the greatest, stans relax yourself!!! . 2. What does Bey have to do with Jennifer Hudson movie?? Only these obsessed fans of Beyonce like she’s the only actress in the world, please!!! 3. The word FLOP is soo overrated in the this site its not even funny with these stans *roll eyes*.

    @S*** (Why UR Mad) : 1. Beyonce is not a legend, don’t get it twisted. The only legends are in the biz: Diana Ross, Aretha, Tina, Whitney, Mariah, Janet , and Mary. 2. The only King is MJ, not Bey, don’t get it twisted. 3. Why are you mad that Jennifer can outsing Bey and won an OSCAR first?? Jen is getting movie roles, getting invites to sing for the president besides Bey?? Your clearly need to see a doctor too obsessed about Beyonce 24/7, that is so damn sad. SMH!!!

    I will see this biopic, it was played in Toronto Flim Fest and I heard good things about it, So I will check it out.

    BEYONCE IS THE QUEEN OF BLACK ACTRESSES!!

    She Grossed $400+ MILLION in the BOX OFFICE, She Winning dat OSCAR!!

  8. JAMIR21: I LOVE THE ILLUMINATI (BRITNEY, BEYONCE, RIHANNA, GAGA, AND NICKI) !!!! September 23, 2011

    You know what I love Beyonce but she is not the best actress in the world !
    Obsessed love that movie but it seemed like she was trying to hard or something !
    Beyonce is not a certified actress until she gets this ! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/Oscar_statuette.jpg:

    Good for her. She should focus more on an acting career than a music career to be honest.

    And that Michael Jackson tribute seems like it will be bad. The lineup is improving now that JHud is going to perform. I just hope she does not scream too much.

    Beys Growing TITS >>> FatHud’s CAREER!!

  12. Jessica September 24, 2011

    @S*** : That is your only backup, a youtube clip??? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? ROTFL , look little boy, until you have solid backup- Beyonce can’t outsing Jennifer. 1. Jennifer can sing from her soul and doesn’t have to pop ass that she talented, yes Beyonce is talented but she always popping her ass. 2. Has Beyonce ever made an inspirational song besides “Listen”?? That’s a no!! 3. Jennifer lost her mom, her brother and nephew in tragedy, what did she do, she rised up from that, so I don’t understand how she’s a so called word “FLOP” that I used loosely. 4. Until you have some leads without using Wiki and Youtube, then talk lil boy. Until Bey wins an OSCAR then talk. GOOD NITE. ROTFL YOUTUBE CLIP AS A COMEBACK!!!

    Ok you’re all ridiculous, an oscar doesnt certify u as an actress and i’lll give u 3 reasons KImberley Elise, Taraji P Henson and Viola Davis (to name a few at the top of my head)…

    You’re all right and u’re all wrong. Beyonce can act, Jennifer Hudson can act but not even one of them comes close to the above 3 ladies in my book. I dont wanna take anything from them cause I love all both very much. But Fantasia can sing both of them into retirement but has only 1 grammy.

    My point is that an award puts u up there amongst the best (Jen with her Oscar will automatically put her in a different league to Kim, Taraji and Viola but it in no way makes her a better actress)

    Beyonce with her 16 grammy’s and most wins by a female in one night (puts her in line to be the grammy queen but it in no way means that she is a better singer than for example Fantasia or Mary)

    IF she does win an oscar it’ll be cause she deserved it for that performance, not because her delusional stans predicted it. And if she never wins one that ok too, she doesnt need to win everything

    Back to the topic at hand, I love Jennifer and I have no doubt she’ll carry this role like a pro but this is movie is a story like the poster says. Winnie didnt approve it so it cant be an “untold story” parts of it will be fabricated since no consultation was made with the woman the movie is based on, but i”ll watch it just to see my girl Jen and Terrence do their thing

  15. wintz September 24, 2011

    Reall? I mean, Really! Stans calm the f*** down. Bey cant act for s***!! Just STOP. dwrcl

    The negativity against Jennifer Hudson here is strange. Jennifer was praised by both Variety and the Hollywood Reporter for her acting in Winnie! Unlike Beyonce, Jennifer is taking on a SERIOUS acting role with NO SINGING. Beyonce is not as good as actress that’s why Jennifer has the Oscar and Beyonce does not! Jennifer will show the world once again she is a very talented actress!

  17. Orville September 25, 2011

    Brian B of course Winnie Mandela did NOT approve of the movie because she killed a fourteen year old boy in South Africa in the 1990s! This movie does NOT sugar coat Winnie’s life which I imagine she probably would want. The movie also explores Winnie’s adultery, her change from being Nelson’s loving wife to a radical militant. Winnie’s quest for power will also be examined in the movie. This movie is NOT some sugary biopic this movie tells the truth about Winnie Mandela the good and the bad.
