Upset, Beyonce ?

The singer hasn't got an Oscar nomination for Dreamgirls song.

Beyonce knowles' publicists are playing down reports the singer/actress is distraught after discovering she has been disqualified from the Oscars' best song category, insisting the star always knew she's miss out on a nod.

Academy Awards rules stipulate only three people can be officially nominated for each Best song and judges are forced to pick the trio who contributed most to the tune. that means Beyonce misses out because she merely added a few finishing touches to the hit song Listen from the Dreamgirls soundtrack.

According to the Academy, henry Krieger, Anne Preven and Scott Cutler will be recognized as the songwriters.

But Beyonce's publicist Alan Nierob insists his client always knew she'd miss out on a best song Oscar nod. He says, "Beyonce is aware of the Oscar rule that says only three songwriters can be nominated.

It's all about percentages how much each person contributed to the song.

"Beyonce contributed greatly to Listen, But her percentage is lower, so she didn't expect to be eligible for nomination. She's very happy that her co-writers may be recognized."

The singer has said that she enjoys her fame and would not change her superstar status despite all the pressure it entails.

According to Beyonce, the biggest disadvantage of fame is not finding friends she can trust. She told contactmusic.com: "Work is my drug.

I'm not worried about having a breakdown. There are negative sides to fame, sure. It's hard to find yourself when everyone tells you everything you do is excellent.

She added: "It's hard to stay humble, hard to make friends. It's hard to know who is real. It's also hard if you don't have people you trust before you become famous."
