Did anyone see Jennifer Hudson's acceptance speech?
How was it?
I went to bed at 10 and apparently missed all the good stuff (her and Forrest winning).

and lots of sincere thank yous for her family and other people who worked on the film. And bit about how she wished her grandmother could have seen it.
I liked it.

7. I probably would have cried with her!
Those true, from the heart speeches always make me bawl!

4. She seemed genuinely suprised to win.
she acknowledged God and her beloved dead grandmother. It was sweet. She cried and I was touched.

6. It was really fun
Edited on Mon Feb-26-07 05:29 PM by huskerlaw
to watch her...she was obviously overwhelmed and surprised.

She must have been...she didn't even seem to notice that she was standing next to George Clooney. I mean, HELLO?!

No, I'm kidding. It was a great speech. From Oscar.com:

Oh my God. I have to just take this moment in. I cannot believe this. Look what God can do. If my grandmother ... I didn't think I was going to win but, wow, if my grandmother was here to see me now. She was my biggest inspiration for everything because she was a singer and she had the passion for it but she never had the chance. And that was the thing that pushed me forward to continue. But I'm so grateful to have my mother here celebrating with me. My boyfriend, my sisters and my brothers back home, and then I've got two of them here. Thank you all for being here, and supporting me. I'd also like to thank Bill Condon, our director, who's a genius. Wow. Oh my God. Unbelievable cast. I'd like to thank the Academy. Definitely have to thank God again. I can't believe this. Wow, I don't know what to say but I thank you all for helping me keep the faith even when I didn't believe. Thank you and God bless you all. Jennifer Holliday, too.
