Besides being very happy that Whitaker walked away a winner last night at The Academy Awards, I saw even more happy to hear that our beloved Jennifer Hudson walked away with one of those little golden statuettes as well! Jennifer won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Effie White in ‘Dreamgirls‘. In the movie, Effie White is a talented singer whose weight leads her manager and lover to relegate her to a back-up role in her singing group.
I am so so happy for Jennifer! And besides her winning, she looked absolutely stunning last night in a brown Oscar de la Renta gown. The chosen shades of brown blended in greatly with Jennifer and her make up, hairstyle and accessories topped everything off. Jennifer’s gown fit her like a dream, and the jewels from Fresh Leighton definitely were the cherries on the cake!
Well done Jennifer, you have proven that curves can definitely go a long was, and are worth gold!

I’m happy for Jennifer Hudson too. In fact, I almost had a chance to meet her when I visited the set of “Dreamgirls” during production. But she was exhausted from the scene they did with Eddie Murphy and so it wasn’t a good time to introduce myself. By the way… my long-time friend, Willie Burton, was the Production Sound Mixer on the film and he also won an Academy Award for his work on “Dreamgirls.”
I hope Jennifer’s win and the success of actors such as Queen Latifah and America Ferrera will mean increasingly better roles for plus-size performers.
