* AwardSnub: The movie earned eight Oscar nominations, more than any other movie of its year, yet got denied a Best Picture nomination. Creator/EddieMurphy fans were rather vocal about his being denied the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as Jimmy, which the man himself blamed on the release of ''Film/{{Norbit}}'' during award season. Likewise many people are outraged that Music/JenniferHudson only received Supporting Awards, only so Beyoncé Knowles [[TheDiva would have no competition]], mitigated by the fact that with her in the supporting category, Hudson had no real competition, guaranteeing her win, compared to her going against Creator/HelenMirren and her brilliant performance in ''Film/TheQueen'' if she had gone in the Lead Category.

** Many fans of this film dislike the fans of ''Film/LittleMissSunshine'' and vice versa. While one reason is due to the acrimony over Creator/AlanArkin winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar over Eddie Murphy, there have been [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment other glaring reasons]] for the strife.

** "And I Am Telling You..." is Effie's lowest point-- she's been kicked out of the group, lost Curtis, and in her delusions is clinging on desperately to whatever level of stardom she thinks she is owed. And despite all this, the song, and the actress' power as a singer and humanity, ends up becoming the standout moment from the show, receiving some of the biggest cheers and thundering applause from audiences in any musical. Such is her ability that it usually wins people back to Effie's side for Act 2, after her {{Jerkass}} [[TheDiva Diva-ish]] personality throughout Act 1 usually turns people off to her.

Many fans and critics of both films have called out the latter film of being [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks too similar]] to the former in spite of the original 1976 version pre-dating ''Dreamgirls'' by five years. Additionally, it was a sore spot for ''Sparkle'' fans that while their rival received lots of critic and commercial praise, their film was largely ignored and received mixed reviews.[[note]]This is likely for a variety of reasons: aside from the play ''Dreamgirls'' being more well-known than the original ''Sparkle'', other factors that may have lead to its disappointing performance is both the bigger star power in the former and the belief that it was wrong to release the film in [[DumpMonths August]] and not sooner after Music/WhitneyHouston's death, especially with it being her final performance[[/note]]

* AwardCategoryFraud: Despite playing the character that's pointed to as the real main character, Music/JenniferHudson was placed in the supporting categories all season long. The only reason why this happened was so Music/{{Beyonce}} would have no internal competition. The result was Hudson sweeping that awards season while Beyoncé was mostly ignored, with her biggest recognition being a comedy/musical actress nod at the Golden Globes.
