Roger Friedman is delusional...
We all know he's a shill, so it isn't as if there should be any respecting the guy to begin with. But what about this doosey he drops in his "Dreamgirls" review today:
For months I’ve been telling you that "Dreamgirls" was the film to beat at the next Academy Awards, and several other pundits have followed in suit. So yes, it is very satisfying to report that Condon has made a wildly entertaining, exciting and moving film that should draw all kinds of audiences when it’s released next month.
Whew. I'm pretty sure you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who hasn't been leaning toward a "Dreamgirls" win for the better part of a year (and this is coming from someone who admittedly left the film off my year-in-advance predictions, so I'm not in the club here). If you're going to brazenly take credit for something, make sure you don't look entirely foolish doing so.
Comments
Is he part of the BFCA? Cause I wouldn't expect anything less from anybody who's a member of that group.
And if he's not, well, yeah, he obviously doesn't read Oscar prognasticators websites.

No to mention he also called it Condon's directorial debut...
