All well and good, but you tell me what is your problem with Jennifer Hudson. She has proven to be an accomplished actress and has amazing pipes. I simply said that she would be perfect for the part.
You are just picking a fight.

hahahahaha. No, I am not picking a fight.
The movie makers selected Zoe. You asked about Jennifer. You have to state why.
If they had first selected Jennifer, I won't have a problem with that or question the selection.

I am not fighting. I am simply giving another person who could have been chosen.
I am well aware that one does not have to be the same race to portray a character. Reference the movie Ghandi.

GoogLee, if there were no black actress who could play the part convincingly, I would agree with you. But there is so why not use her?
