MATHEW KNOWLES FUMES AT HOLLYWOOD 'RACISM'

BEYONCE KNOWLES' father MATHEW is furious the superstar was overlooked at the Golden Globe Awards, accusing the film industry of discriminating against blacks. The singer-turned-actress failed to pick up a single nomination for her role in DREAMGIRLS, and - despite Golden Globe wins for Afro-Americans FOREST WHITAKER, EDDIE MURPHY, PRINCE, Dreamgirls co-star JENNIFER HUDSON and the movie itself - Knowles Snr blames his daughter's omission on racism. He told reporters after the ceremony on Monday (15JAN06), "Today is MLK's (MARTIN LUTHER KING's) birthday and it saddens me to say that things have not changed for blacks. Working class blacks and blacks in Hollywood are still being discriminated against. We still have a long way to go."

With all due respect Mr. Knowles. I hardly think you can call you daughter's like of nominations for a Golden Globe Award racism. Evidently there was nothing in her performance worthy of a nomination. While your daughter is an attactive young woman and is possibly equiped with some talent, after listening to her rendition of Silent Night, in my humble opinion singing is not one of them. You see Mr Knowles, I watched your daughter's performance on The View and I came to realize that technology and gyrations on stages, covers a multitude of faults. Jennifer Hudson received a well deserved award. I can't praise her enough. She does what very few people in the entertainment business can do. She sings. No fancy footwork or gyrations needed. This youg lady has talent and doesn't need a cover.

This story is so inacurate. Beyonce was nominated for two Golden Globe awards, so how has she been overlooked? Did her father specifically mention Beyonce in his speech, and if so did he specifically reference the Golden Globes? I don't think that is true.
