Jennifer Hudson: No Feud With Beyonce

Even before "Dreamgirls" premiered last month, there were rumors that Beyonce was jealous of all the attention her co-star Jennifer Hudson was getting.

Hudson went on to win a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild award for her breakout role as Effie in the film and is the frontrunner to win again at the Academy Awards next month.

But, Hudson vehemently denies there's been any diva drama.

"We're just happy to see the movie being recognized and acknowledged," she said on Tuesday's "Oprah" show. "And (Beyonce) still supports me the same way she did from day one."

"And she is Beyonce," Winfrey said, pointing out the singer's superstar status.

"Yes, she's Beyonce!" laughed Hudson.

Oprah observed that women are more often portrayed as rivals.

"People never say that if they're two guys," she said.

Hudson is looking forward to the Oscars, and said that her mother, Darnell, will be her date for the awards.

In March, Hudson will begin working on an album helmed by music mogul Clive Davis.
