Knowles was nominated for the award for her commendable portrayal of Deena in Dreamgirls, but the prize went to the British actress who played Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen.
Former Destiny's Child star Rowland strongly believes that Knowles has a great artist within her, and she will definitely bag the Oscar in the future.
"I tell you what, though, Beyonce was robbed of the Dreamgirls Oscar. She did a great job,” Daily Star quoted her as saying.
"Mind you, that won't be her last opportunity. She'll have plenty of Oscars in the future," she added. (ANI)
