Baba can keep on ranting about the studios not beliving in their movies own message, some FYC ads are out and no sign of one with Hudson.
EDIT!!!!!!
Here's one, not her own poster but a group one.

Baba is full of shit. Seriously, I listen to a lot of weird rationales about movie grades but his problem with Dreamgirls is laughable.

The Hollywood Reporter.
The Variety one is a rave, but THR's is not. I think RT will be more around 75% instead of higher. BP is no sure thing, and BD looks very unlikely. Hudson's win is locked though; she is raved everywhere.

Did you guys hear about this?
To introduce the film to younger audiences, DreamWorks has quietly spent close to $250,000 funding high school productions of the original play, paying for estate licensing fees.

92 at metacritic!! (with 4 reviews in)
maybe people will start believing now?
i know the score will definitely go down but thats still great.
So Hudson is the frontrunner for supp. actress right now and i still say the same about the movie (for picture).

If the film becomes a hit(grosses 100mill+) then its going to be close with the departed.

The soundtrack is on iTunes.
Unsurprisingly, Jennifer Hudson's "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" is stupendous.

I wonder if the recent controversy will hurt murphy's chances.

grades from critics in NSFC.
Charles Taylor from Salon is kind of an extreme grader: plenty of 100s, but also some very low grades (20 for Dreamgirls, 0 for The Good German).

NSFC uses the score each critic officially sent, so they could be different than MC's assigned ones. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

The average of 63 is pretty fair for Dreamgirls.

I'm beginning to think Dreamgirls will have trouble being nominated.

The way I see it
It hasn't shown up at any of the guilds, minus Jennifer Hudson.
Eddie Murphy isn't even winning anything.
Not a good sign so far, and United 93 and Little Miss Sunshine are right up its ass considering the last 2 noms.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember Chicago exactly sweeping the early critics awards either.

I'm not saying Dreamgirls won't be nominated for Best Picture. It probably still will.
I'm just saying, and mark my words (actually don't, this is just a hunch)...
Dreamgirls is not winning.
