Jennifer Hudson Wins Best Supporting Actress | 79th Oscars (2007) 

These illustrates how meaningless this award is.We have accomplished thespians that have studied their trade for decades that haven't won an Oscar. Jennifer Hudson ON AMERICA'S GOT TALENT COMES HOME WITH NOTHING. SHE WALTZ OVER TO MOVIES-GETS AN OSCAR FIRST TRY. PROVING THE OSCAR IS MEANINGLESS.

and a grammy and a golden globe!

***** Now she needs to Win an Emmy for Outstanding Peformance in A TV Musical Or Special when she Sang At The Kennedy Center Honors saluting Al Green.

Hopefully she'll also win a Tony for doing The Color Purple.

Actually she's not nominated

Yeah, I heard but she's one of the most successful Non Winners in the History of the Show.

I was wondering about this today and looking up her many awards and nominations.

...and she didn't win American Idol. That just goes to show you that her star power was way bigger than a talent competition. So glad she got discovered.

@@Eastpointe Yeah hahaha, Beyonce was pissed when she didn't get any nomination while Jennifer got tons of it and even won an Oscar, she's now an EGOT winner as well. Beyonce might be a superstar but Jennifer Hudson is a legendary star.

​@@quangminhtran2916the shade towards beyonce is so random. No beyonce name was mentioned. Yall just wanna create drama between two successful women

Holy shit I was literally thinking to myself “how doesn’t this women have a egot!?” Lmfao my ignorance ig

not this year....

coco loco The fact that jennifer "rivals" were more different in 2007 prooved they're fair with the nomination. They don't have senseless"diversity quotas" to put but they will nominated and make won the best actress whatever her origin, age etc.. It's nice. :)

Im Mexican and I totally loved Adriana Barraza role in 'Babel'; However, this was such tight category: any of this wonderful five could have won.

i love how u say about races and then ur like 'an Australian' lmao

Kitty Fearn They mentioned both races and nationalities (American, Australian, Japanese, Mexican) and it was about diversity not just race.

Basil Dabbah fr? she was younger than Lupita?

stellar yep, she was born in 1981 and won the oscar in 2007, and since the oscars took place in 2007 before the month of september (her birth month) she was only 25 when she won her oscar. Lupita (who so deserved her oscar) just turned 31 when she won her oscar in the same category, best performance by an actress in a supporting role

and she's coming for her second after the aretha movie

.....for acting , I think Irene Cara was younger but she didn’t win her acting category , she did win best original song that year

Robbie Bobby irene cara won her oscar at 26

Facts

True

Couldn't of said it any better

George Clooney is an arrogant asshole. If it were Denzel Washington, then it would have been incredible.

Ellen gave her a second Grammy

Lesbians aren't

What about Native Americans

what do you think Cate Blanchett was there for?

@@newyyykkll what do you think Cate Blanchett was there for?

it's "best" because they did a great job and happened to be of diverse backgrounds.

What incident?

+Sakina Sehgal her entire mothers side was murdered.

David Bryant omg seriously? why? who? that's so unfortunate :(

+Sakina Sehgal In May 2008, her sister, Julia's husband William Balfour shot her mother, Darnell, and brother, Jason, inside their Chicago home and her 7 yr old nephew, Julian(who was reported as missing) was found shot to death 3 days later in an abandoned vehicle. Truly heartbreaking. :(

Melissa Cottrell Indeed

Ssepuy g

+Nafeesa Shaik - How many Oscars has Carrie Underwood won?

+Nafeesa Shaik Actually it's Kelly Clarkson who is the most successful idol because of her international success.

+Nafeesa Shaik But that is only regarding the U.S territory... The most successful Idol winner worlwide is and I think always will be the amazing Kelly Clarkson. She is the real Idol Queen, Carrie is the Idol Princess

Depends on your scale. She does have an Oscar and a Grammy. Carrie has the most money. But talent goes to Clarkson for the win.

I hope that 🙌

I SURE hope SO!

Yep that’s right I was thinking the same thing

😱😱😱😱

R👏🏾E👏🏾S👏🏾P👏🏾E👏🏾C👏🏾T👏🏾

and she's now an EGOT winner, the biggest slap to the faces of those who voted her off back in 2004.

Its sad. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

+loripotkay But in the end, Jennifer didn't let tragedy stand in her way of her dream.

Manuel Orozco that's right! still goin strong as we speak! no stoppin her!

Andrew Jonathan Actually yes, I did, except of the first woman

Helena Prieto the first and the last woman were in the same film. wtf

+Helena Prieto how did you catch one performance but not the other when it was the same film? honesty is still the best policy...

i think abgail was actually better sorry jennifer you sang well mind😁

Helena ugh I know. That was terrible

+kittybookitty Whilst I agree diversity is good... how is Cate Blanchett, who was in her 30s here, a senior?!

i wasn't referring to CB

***** Idris Elba>>>>Mark Ruffalo Mya Taylor was a hell of a lot better than Rachel McAdams and could've replaced the egregious category fraud of Rooney Mara and Alicia Vikander. I'm not sure if he counts as an ethnic minority but Benicio del Toro > Tom Hardy

***** No, that's three. And yes I know, but over the years the Academy have been recognising low grossing movies, although none that low.

***** Erm, I'm not the OP. But I'm pretty sure they were discussing diversity at the Oscars in general, not just one category.

I definitely agree

awwww, I'm just on my marathon watching Oscar Speeches and I see you here, rest in paradise Lloyd, you'll forever be missed.

@@folklovermorenightsdepartment Oh same. Rest in peace Kween, you will always be remembered❤

look on who I stumbled in the comments🙏🏻

Kween LC ❤️🙏

REST IN PEACE KWEEN LC. HUHUHU!😘😭

Matheus Cardoso She was an absolute revelation in that film.

hawrnball she deserved it. She was getting standing ovations at many showings from movie goers. It happened in my theater. We begged for an encore.

One more thing those other actors nominated have had time to study their craft and hone their acting skills. She had never acted before, all she knew how to do was sing. For her to perform as amazing as she did with less training is astonishing. Those other films may have been great but Dream Girls will be remembered for years to come!! She was well deserving of that Oscar!!!

Much respect. Much respect so please don't tear me apart here. Been writing since I was 8, singing since I was 9, acting since I was 15. That woman can SANG. If this was the Grammies, "honey just step aside because Ms. Hudson needs to make a speech." That woman can not act. That acting performance looked like a reject from a Disney casting. I will never understand this award. Everyone of those actresses gave a better performance and it should have gone to Adriana Barraza or Rinko Kikuchi for sure. I feel like the people approaching this win have preconceived ideas and probably didn't see some of these other films. The woman can sing. She can't act worth a damn. Couldn't act in this. Couldn't act in Sex and the City. Couldn't act in the Secret Life of Bees. Do you know how bad an actress you have to be to stand out as the bad performance in the Sex and the City Movie?! I love Sex and the City but let's get real, these people aren't Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and Viola Davis here. Honey, just because you like her, does not mean she deserved this. Go on ahead and like her. Be happy for her too if you want to be, but stop lying to yourselves. This was BS. Now I wish her continued success because she clearly has another talent, seems decent and is child of God so that means she's my sister but you know she did not deserve this. Come on.

Honestly she didn’t deserved

She was phenomenal in that movie!

she won't. guaranteed.

@@Davey7358 Okay? Are u special needs?

Yes, ofecourse! 😍🔥💕

Kristen Stewart says hi!

Richard Donato I was honored to be a part of the press who saw a screening early before the official release. Even the critics were on their feet clapping at the end of "I'm telling You" ... and this was at a movie ... and with critics! After the showing, I did meet her too! I'm telling you that critics are like wolves, but I'm a writer who takes a more positive direction. God must have put me in the chair that I was sitting in, because she came in and sat right down directly in front of me. While others were first blurting out their qualifications, and trying to set up their question with an impressive knowledge of her life, I calmly waited my turn. Then my first words were "Jennifer, as glamorous and beautiful as you are up on the big screen, you are even more so in person!" How could I not feel that way looking into her eyes! Then I proceeded to about what it was like with getting all those wonderful costume changes, the wigs, and such ... she loved that! I hope that she never forgets that there are true fans who love her dearly, because I will never forget her for as long as I live!

She was the reason i finished the film,she was amazing,and it was her first acting role!

Bitch I'm not stupid, y'all trying to shade Beyoncé. But either way, Beyoncé made the movie and soundtrack.

Richard Donato that’s weird cause I remember going to watch it when it came out and everyone was getting annoyed at Jennifer’s parts lmao

Endgame and A Star is Born broke out at Shallow and I'll Never Love Again, and La Vie En Rose. With Endgame, you know when

And this is why winning American Idol isn't everything. It's often a stepping stone...a door to introduce talent to the world. If it's truly there, you will get noticed.

Because she wasn't even nominated, haha.

Bruno Rivas Because she was happy for her friend and she was nominated for two golden globes so i think that's enough and more

I was just J O K I N G.

fuck Beyonce.

QueOnda 123 The category was “Supporting actress” Beyoncé wasn’t in that category idiot. She was the lead. It’s harder to be nominated for a leading actress rather than a supporting. I’m sure if Beyoncé was the supporting actress she’d have won. Props to Jennifer though, well deserved.

Cuz Beyoncé desperately wants that Oscar!!!

@@3mh4ba u can see it on her face!!!

N J valhalla she was crying cause she’s happy for her

Beyonce had that guilty pleasure jealous...but also happy for Jennifer winning..face look..lol

Because people are miserable and they thrive off of negativity

Love all she deserves this. many more could have played the Queen of Soul Jasmine Sullivan sounded just like her and a few more. So many gifted Queens than can Sang !!i salute them all.

IrishRogue 😂

I agree you can see the shade

Wdym? They all clapping and smile.

Barbara Duncan What point are you trying to make?

+Barbara Duncan When completely at a loss to contribute anything relevant to a conversation, always play the God card. He gave you a brain and with it, the ability to reason, weigh, calculate, and discern. It is nothing short of sinful to ignore these natural gifts, or to ignore the God-given talents of others, and hide behind religion like a coward. In other words, get over yourself. You do God a great disservice.

+TheChannel.TV Spread the word Jennifer Hudson is playing Maybelle in Hairspray Live

I read somewhere she is starring in an adaptation of Cats

@@manuelorozco7760 did she?

JJ Herkenhoff American Idol’s voting system is kinda crappy.

Eva Surlecoté no darling she is miss little sunshine, not Chanel... something.

Lmboo yeah whatever you like... And by the way it's "Little Miss Sunshine" not "miss little sunshine" ;-)

She's been acting for most of her life. From Little Miss Sunshine to Kitt Kitteradge to Scream Queens to Dirty Dancing.

now she's fat and wears clothes that can fit Dennise Hemphill LOL

Just yesterday I watched Babel for the first time! And OMG Adriana Barraza moved me to tears with her amazing and heartfelt performance! ❤️ She is a wonderful and incredibly talented actress! 👏👏🙏

She broke my heart too :( it was a shame she didn't win... I'm so proud of her any way since I Mexican and know her career.

I agree! And if you like Adriana, go see her in "Cake," playing the housekeeper/companion to Jennifer Aniston's character. She's phenomenal in it---just about the other great thing about that movie.

adriana barraza and rinko kikuchi's performances are what made babel such an exceptional movie.

I'm a black man and I thought the same thing. She was so convincing in Babel. She had to win.

The best is Adriana Barraza!

+angma™ (Angeline) They intentionally put her in supporting actress category for a bigger chance to win an oscar. and not to battle with another actress from the same movie.

+angma™ (Angeline) No Deena was lead Effie is supporting

+Cryptic (angma™) I thought I was the only one who noticed that. BTW EDDIE MURPHY WAS ROBBED!!

Beyonce was considered the lead actress

Morghan Phillips And people who saw the movie these past ten years should get it by now.

She was the best in my opinion. And Rinko was also very good. That whole movie had the best cast that year.

Very strong! Adriana Barraza and Rinco Kikuchi stunned me in film Babel!

Except the winner ;)

Rinko Kikuchi? She's a badass.

Same

It's ok don't play atention the hater coments enjoy that

I was very sure that Adriana Barraza will win

irish mendozita I don't know why...? She didn't anything leading up to this. Hudson won them all.

Babel is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen in my life! Rinko Kikuchi and Adriana Barraza played such powerful, complexed, and heartbreaking performances, that they both should've won the Oscar. Brad Pitt should've been nominated too!

Thanks god academy ...a mexican won an oscar..I ll hope to see an actor or actress mexican to win an oscar

@Montravius Daniel it’s not rude to have a preference.

Lets hope!

Incredibly stupid.
