During last night’s BET Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, American Idol’s Jennifer Hudson took home best actress and best new artist honors for her portrayal of powerhouse singer Effie White in Dreamgirls.
“I can’t believe I’m still winning awards!” exclaimed Hudson upon being named best actress, according to People.
Hudson has claimed numerous awards — from the Golden Globe and Oscars to the Screen Actors Guild and British Academy of Film and Television Arts — for her portrayal of White.
In addition to taking home two awards at the annual BET ceremony, Hudson also performed a duet of “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” with Jennifer Holliday, who first recorded the Dreamgirls song following her Tony Award winning role in the Broadway musical in 1981.
