Jennifer Hudson at the Academy Awards
Jennifer Hudson won Best Supporting Actress, though she noted before the show that she didn't think of herself as an actor, but that Eddie Murphy was, who, though quiet and almost invisible on the set until he was 'on', instantly transformed himself into the part in a way that defined acting.
Jennifer and Beyonce later collaborated in singing 4 of the songs nominated for Best Original Song. I Need To Wake Up, by Melissa Ethridge, in An Inconvenient Truth, won, despite two nominations for songs from Dream Girls'.
Jennifer's come a long way from being told by Simon that she just couldn't cut it...LOL!
Thanks, John! Good for her! I hear that Ryan Seacrest played a video message for her from Simon that was very heartfelt. What an accomplishment (that AND the oscar). :P
