We all knew she can sing, but now she can act too! Former American Idol contestant wins a Golden Globe for best supporting actress in her debut role as Effie White in Bill Condon’s critically acclaimed movie Dreamgirls.
“I had always dreamed but I never ever dreamed this big,” she said during her acceptance speech.
Although she had limited acting experience, it was no surprised that she won this award. Jennifer Hudson’s performance of the show stopping song ‘And I’m telling you, I’m not going’ made famous by Jennifer Holiday, alone would have sealed the win. She was the favorite to win this award and will also likely be a favorite during the Oscars.
The former American Idol contestant was dismissed early in one of the best seasons of AI, which included many talents like Latoya London and winner Fantasia Barrino. Although she was booted off a disappointing 7th place finish, she didn’t fall in the trend of ‘Going no where after AI’, like many other contestants do. What ever happen to that Justin Guarini guy?
With limited acting experience, winning a Golden Globe was a boost of confidence to branch out and extend her talent to the world. Not only will she release her first album this year with Arista Records, but she will also continue acting.
“Last year at this time, I wasn’t sure if I was an actress, but now this just gives me the confidence to want to carry on and to continue acting, and I did find a new love in acting. I want to continue acting and singing as well. I want to have that album in the music industry and separate the two.†– Jennifer said during her press conference after the win.
“What has kept me going is just my desire to want to do what I love to do and that is to sing and now to act.â€Â She said when asked what has kept her going despite the disappointing finish on American Idol.
Jennifer Hudson is clearly a rising star. Her singing career no doubt will be a success, and as far as her acting career goes, it is just the beginning and so far it is looking pretty good.
