David Furnish continues Madonna feud: 'She can't make good movies'

David Furnish has deepened his feud with Madonna by suggesting that she lacks the talent to make movies.
Furnish previously slammed the 'Material Girl' star's Golden Globe win for 'Best Original Song' last weekend, arguing that her track 'Masterpiece' did not deserve to beat 'Hello Hello' by his partner Elton John.
He wrote on Facebook that her victory "shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit" and went on to blast the 53-year-old as "embarrassing" and "desperate".
Furnish has since stood by his criticism of Madonna's song - which comes from her directorial debut W.E. - and continued to question the reasoning behind her big victory.
"Did Madonna get the Golden Globe because she attended the awards and agreed to be a presenter?" The Mirror quotes him as asking. "It's a song nobody has heard, from a film few have seen.
"The award should have gone to Mary J Blige or Elton. I like Madonna's music but not her movies. She should stick to what she's good at."
John himself apparently predicted prior to the Golden Globes that Madonna didn't "have a f**king chance" of winning 'Best Original Song'.
