Jennifer Hudson thanks Jennifer Holliday, among others…

Hooray!!! It happened. After Eddie Murphy’s loss, I was a bit nervous about this. But Jennifer Hudson took the best supporting actress Academy Award for “Dreamgirls” and she was tearful and gracious. “I just have to take this moment in. I cannot believe this. Look what God can do.”
She hugged Beyonce and others on her way up to the stage. I gotta say, it is so annoying to have the music start playing her off the stage. Dammit. Cut out the stupid costume segment and let the best supporting actress speak!
Over the music, Jennifer Hudson did thank Jennifer Holliday, who originated the role of Effie on Broadway, won the Tony for it 25 years ago, and was publicly pissed off over not being given even a cameo in the film.
Holliday should feel much better now and thanks to the classy Hudson, her legacy was honored.
