8/16: Hudson an Oscar frontrunner already?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Those wacky folks at the LA Times certainly like to jump the gun. Already, there is talk that Season 3 finalist Jennifer Hudson’s role in the film verson of “Dreamgirls” is a showstopper, that early test audiences loved her. She could be a supporting actress Oscar contender.
The writer Tom O’Neil proclaims: “All early buzz indicates that ‘Dreamgirls’ is about to transform Hudson into a superstar.”
Are you excited to see Jennifer become possibly the first “Idol” contestant to become a star via film? (Season one’s Tamyra Gray was the first one to get a good role in “The Gospel” last year.)

I can’t wait for this movie to come out. I love the Broadway plan with Jennifer Holiday and if all the buzz is justified, then I know I’ll love the movie.
