Jennifer Hudson just added another major award to her mantel and it sees her strut even closer to EGOT status.
Full story below…
The multi-hyphenate talent won a Daytime Emmy today for her role as executive producer in VR animated film ‘Baba Yaga.’
Hudson, 39, was among a number of notable names to voice characters in the production; a list that included the likes of Glen Close and Kate Winslet.
Ultimately though, it was the film’s win in the category of Interactive Media for a Daytime Program that earned Hudson the honor.
It means the ‘Dreamgirls’ star – who now has an Emmy, Grammys, and an Oscar to her name – is just one award away from earning the coveted EGOT status. For, only a Tony Award remains.
Back in 2016, she appeared to be a shoo-in after being nominated for her role in the Broadway adaptation of ‘The Color Purple’ – which nabbed four nominations but omitted her.
Should a Tony be in her future (which for us feels more “when” than “if”), Hudson would join the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and John Legend on the elite list of names to have achieved EGOT status.
Remarking on her win, the ‘Respect’ star said:
“Wow! Thank you @televisionacad for this honor. And thanks to the incredible creative team at @baobabstudios for bringing the important story of “Baba Yaga” to life. I am so grateful for the opportunity to lend my voice to a character and executive produce alongside this innovative team. You all inspired me doing what you do best. Receiving an Emmy for this special project is truly the icing on the cake!”

Beyonce could never Jhud was the true star of dreamgirls and better actress etc. Bey wishes
Do you compare men like this?
The article is about a woman… And Beyoncé is a terrible actress. Good performer? Yes. Actress? No. One person can’t be good at everything.
The article is about one woman. Jennifer. Ya’ll are OBSESSED with Beyonce chile. Even when it’s not about her, it’s about her. Beyonce may never get an emmy or an oscar, just like Jennifer may never have more Grammys than any other singer ever. They are both excelling in their own careers. Both of them have great accomplishments that the other one doesn’t. At this point, you’re just keeping tally for no good reason — you don’t care about art or talent. If you did, you would have at least pretended to congratulate Jennifer or comment on her performance. Lol, neither one of you even mentioned her once. It’s pathetic. Why do you, who would never in this life or the next, be considered for any of these 4 awards, think you are in a position to mock someone who has already accomplished more in her profession than you ever will?
It’s about Jennifer’s ACTING, something she did with BEYONCÉ. For f**** sake, y’all are SO DUMB and need EVERYTHING BROKEN DOWN and SPELLED OUT for you. It’s EXHAUSTING. Go back to fûcking school you dumb cûntt.
Jennifer acted with a lot of people. Is this article now about all of them too??? Dream girls happened 15 YEARS AGO. lmao, you’re an idiot. Imagine doing one thing with Beyoncé, and FIFTEEN years later, when you’re on the verge of being an EGOT, all people can talk about is Beyoncé. You are so OBSESSED with her that you made someone else’s accomplishment, all about her. That is some Stan level mess. Just because your comments aren’t positive, doesn’t mean you’re not a fan. She was your focus.
💯
Um Barbra Streisand can be good and both and successful and Oscar etc.
I meant Beyoncé lol
Just like how Jennifer Hudson can’t sell an album or get a hit to save her life.
I really wish you all would stop trying to make fetch happen.
Aretha Franklin chose wrong! With a Hollywood studio backing her and all this promo
Soundtrack:Flop
Movie: Major box office bomb
The Gift soundtrack is a flop and it’s on par with the highest selling Jennifer Hudson. So I would most definitely sit this one out.
Lol well you tell that to all the awards she has lol.
AND JENNIFER DUDSON IS A ONE HIT WONDER FLOP. BEYONCE IS STILL THE MORE DECORATED WITH OVER 20 GRAMMYS TO HER NAME AND COUNTLESS OTHER ACCOLADES. RESPECT FLOPPED AND SO DID THE SOUNDTRACK. IT DIDNT EVEN DO 10 MILLION OPENING WEEKEND MEANWHILE CANDYMAN DID 25 MILLION. JENNIFER DUDSON IS NO ONES ACTRESS VERY ONE DIMENSIONAL IN EVERYTHING SHE DOES.
Where her Oscar Where’s her Emmy oh yeah jhud has those and wait she might get the egot oh wait she has grammys also. At least she didn’t have to pay for the grammy unlike beyonce dad did those 20.
@Livelife&Learn&Forgive school them 🤣🤣🤣
JENNIFER HAS ONE GRAMMY. SHE DOESNT EVEN HAVE ANY PLATINUM ALBUM OR SINGLES. BEYONCE HAS 6 #1 ALBUMS, 6 #1 SINGLES, 593 AWARDS, 5 SOLD OUT WORLD TOURS INCLUDING 2 STADIUM, 120 MILLION SOLD AS A SOLO ARTIST, 180 WHEN U FACTOR IN DC AND A $440 MILLION NETWORTH, OVER $1B COMBINED WITH HER HUSBAND. JENNIFER DUDSON IS NO COMPARISON EVER. EMMY, OSCAR OR NOT. ANYONE IN THE WORLD WILL TELL U THAT🤣
Yet The Gift sold 18K US and 949 copies in the UK. Make it make sense 😂🤣
MAKES PLENTY OF SENSE THAT THE GIFT DOESNT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM HER MULTITUDE OF ACCOLADES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS. JENNIFER DUDSON AINT EVEN TOUCHING FANTASIA IN SALES. THE QUEEN 🐝 KEEPS U S***** BOTTOMS PRESSSSS
Me? I couldn’t care less, the only one pressed is you 🤣 And take “Bee” with you with her 949 copies sold 🐝🤣
IM PRESSED BUT YOU MENTIONED BEYONCE ON A POST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER. ADMIT IT BUSHBABY SHES YOUR QUEEN. AND EVERYTHING YOUR MINATURE GUMS XTRA LARGE TEETH, NO EDGES, TURNING TRICKS AT THE PIERS GENITAL WARTS HAVING SELF WISHES TO BE. CONGRATULATION JDUD AND KEEP IT PUSHING TRANSVESTITE
SCREAMING 🤣 Honey, you’re nuts!
@livelife&learn&forgive 💯
GO JENNIFER!! Was your nephew and mom dying with it?? Your blood sacrifices are paying off!! Yesss!!!
Worth*** DEVIL WORSHIP!!! SACRIFICES. KILLED HER MOTHER AND NEPHEW FOR AWARDS
Come on icon status!
Beyonce weeps
She would be if she had a soul.
She might not be an egot but she’s an ego! Lol
You must be talking about Beyoncé 🤣
Jennifer Fatson sold less records then Normani lol
HER HIGHEST CHARTING SINGLE SPOTLIGHT DIDNT EVEN CRACK THE TOP 20. THREE OF HER SINGLES PEAKED IN THE 60’S AND HER LAST BILLBOARD ENTRY TOPPED THE HOT 100 AT #90 TEN YEARS AGO AND THESE DRAGGONS GOT THE NERVE TO MENTION THE MUTHA F****** QUEEN 🐝🐝🐝
I AM the mutháfûćkin Queen, not that 949 copy-selling p**** popping 40 year old h** 🤣
AND THATS STILL MORE THAN JDUD 3 ALBUMS COMBINED SOLD GREMLINNN
I wouldn’t mind Jennifer becoming an EGOT. Congrats to her on this latest achievement…
