BET Honors: Jennifer Hudson's Award Winning Moments

In 2005, Hudson received her big break when she was cast in the role of Effie White, in the film adaptation of the legendary Broadway musical, Dreamgirls about an all-girl group trying to make it in the 1960s. Hudson had huge shoes to fill in following another Jennifer, Holliday that is, who played Effie on Broadway but Husdon did so beautifully when she made audiences stand-up and cheer with her flawless onscreen rendition of, the show stopping, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”
