Singer Jennifer Hudson was the big winner at the 40th NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles.  It has been a big week for Hudson, who won a Grammy on Sunday night.  Hudson won three Image Awards on Thursday night and the biggest standing ovation of the night.  She had been nominated for seven awards.

Hudson won new artist, outstanding collaboration, and best album with her self-titled CD, and she received a standing ovation.

“Now don’t start me to crying again, y’all,” said an emotional Hudson on accepting the award. “It’s always an honor to come home and feel welcome and to feel the love.”

“The Secret Life of Bees,” in which Hudson stars, won for best motion picture, while hospital series “Grey’s Anatomy” won the award for best TV drama and “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” was awarded outstanding comedy series.

Hudson also performed the National Anthem less than two weeks ago to start the Super Bowl.  I am proud for Jennifer and her success.  She has proven she is no flash in the pan and is here for good, having won a Grammy and an Oscar award.
