If you're ex-Idol contestant and Oscar nominee Jennifer Hudson, one good thing about being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on the Academy Awards red carpet is his ability to get Simon Cowell eating a heapin' helping of crow on tape. Cowell submitted a video message just for Hudson, whom he drubbed during her "American Idol" performances in season three. "We're rooting for you," he said, predicting she would win the supporting actress honor for "Dreamgirls." Hudson was so touched that she expressed concern about her makeup being runined by a tear or two. Finally! Simon making somebody cry is a good thing.
