Performer in the cast of a Special, Benefit, Revival of The Broadway Musical "Hair" on Broadway at New York City's New Amsterdam Theatre on Sep 20, 2004
Was not in attendance at the 2007 BAFTA Awards ceremony when she was won the award as Best Supporting Actress for Dreamgirls (2006). Actor and fellow BAFTA-nominee, Daniel Craig, accepted the award on her behalf. Her award was shipped to her but got lost in the mail. In 2011, Hudson appeared on British talk show, Jennifer Hudson/K D Lang/Bill Bailey (2011), where Norton surprised her with the award.
[on her Dreamgirls (2006) role] I never gave up hope of playing Effie. They would talk to me and then look at other people and then come back to me... but I always had the faith. I had to separate myself from the process and not think about it too much or I'd go crazy.
