An Oscar for Jennifer Hudson!

First of all American Idol is full of it. They dont look for talent, Obviously they look for appearance. many have been turned away for the way they look. Who cares if they can sing? That's messed up. Jennifer Hudson is so Humble and really deserves everything that she has accomplished thus far and what's to come. I remember when she was on American Idol and got voted off she stated that even though she didn't win, she got what she really wanted, and that was for the world to hear her sing one time. Look at her now. "YOUR GIFT WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU"
I love Jennifer Hudson so much and would do anything to meet her one time - just to let her know how much she has inspired me.!

Ms. Hudson was working before AI. She don't owe AI anything. If anything, they need to have people to judge the show with a better judge of character. What would she be thanking them for anyway? Holding her back? Be for real, she is genuinely and without a doubt talented. She would have made it with or without AI.

Hopefully, a deserved ACTRESS will win next year.

Did she really wear that ugly shrug with that dress?!

After Jennifer Holliday's "And I am Telling You" blow-up with Whitney Houston years ago, I am confident that such non-meetings are not Ms. Hudson's fault. Besides, you are assuming Ms. Hudson calls her own shots...she has handlers. Her decisions are not her own at this stage in her career. Ms. Holiday, however...

And I do not recall Jennifer Hudson mentioning any other awards during her acceptance speech, though, the announcer did mention that fact at the beginning of the telecast, so, such a comment would not have been out of line.

I thought it was pretty tacky for her to mention/brag about her Golden Globe and SAG awards on the Oscar stage. And that "oh-by-the-way" shout out to Jennifer Holiday, whom Ms. Hudson has never even bothered to meet in person.

Will there be a separate post on the award ceremony? I am ready to unload.

Why should she have thanked American Idol? Do other Oscar winners thank thier first break? "I would like to thank burger king for letting me have it my way"
She didnt Win AI, and on HER OWN TALENT and ambition got her Oscar.

Phish, are you making assumptions? Did she every say anything, remotely, close to your rant? Pull up.

Congrats, indeed. In yo face!

One upped Kelly Clarkson? I wouldn't go that far. Jennifer Hudson still needs to prove she's got staying power in the musical aspect of her career. Though an Oscar is pretty damn sweet.

I just think the two are very different. I'm pretty sure Kelly Clarkson is content with her Grammys, AMAs, VMAs, People's Choice, and all those awards she won in all those other countries.

Two girls with great talent, but succeeding in two very different spectrum. Can't be compared.

Although I think Jennifer may have one upped Clarkson with her not thanking American Idol. Wonder if Simon Cowell will give her as much crap as he did Clarkson? Even if clarkson has spent so much time actually being grateful to Idol...shrug.
