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 just stated why.

fite fite

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.

Not needed if you really believe this

unless the acting was poor, of course!  or the alternative is a better actor!

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?
