Day 3 of New Year and Beyonce Can't Catch A Break

Poor Beyonce...
It's only three days in to the new year and chica is already having issues. It seems as though all the trickery, foolery and down right side stepping to get "Listen" into the Dreamgirls flick has backfired. According to Rule #16 of the Oscar committee rules, only three songwriters can be credited for an original song score. Beyonce is the fourth writer on "Listen."
According to the Los Angeles Times,
The Oscars' songwriting branch has decided to qualify only Henry Krieger, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler for writing "Listen." No explanation is given for why Beyonce is excluded over the others.
Oh but they didn't stop there. They went on to say that this is how she received a songwriting Grammy for "Crazy In Love" which also had a shit load of people listed as songwriters. Apparently Beyonce only contributed to the hook on "Crazy In Love" and walked away with a Grammy for songwriting.
Now that's a fuckin' shame seeing as Mariah Carey still hasn't been awarded for her songwriting.
But anyways, read the details here and here.
As the song says.... "to the left, to the left." And that was written by Ne-Yo.
