Congratulations to Jennifer Hudson for winning the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ award at the Golden Globes. She won the award in her debut film performance playing Effie White in the movie version of the hit musical ‘Dream Girls‘ which also stars Beyoncé Knowles.

I am really pleased for her, as she was my favourite on the American Idol season 3. I loved Fantasia too, but Jennifer Hudson was my favourite.

I remember when she sung ‘Heatwave’ it really showed her vocal capabilities. She was kind of an underdog on the show as well, having only been given a chance to get through to the finals of the show because of Randy Jackson selecting her as a wild card. Simon Cowell never seemed to particularly like her; though his view of her seemed to become more approving shortly before she was thrown off the programme when the ‘three divas’ made up the bottom three.

Anyway, I am yet to see Dream Girls, but I am sure I shall love it. Congratulations once again, Jennifer!
