Congrats to Jennifer Hudson!

It's happened, ladies and gentlemen. An "American Idol" contestant has been nominated for an Academy Award.

Congratulations to Jennifer Hudson for her Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role as Effie in "Dreamgirls." I haven't seen the movie, so you can tell me whether she's got as good of a chance of winning as everyone says she has...

By the way, for those of you who read this blog for your "American Idol" fix, there is something special coming very soon, so Stay Tuned for the details...
