Jennifer Hudson wins 1st Emmy, 1 award away from EGOT status

Meanwhile, the “American Idol’ alumni is eyeing up a role in Disney’s live-action Hercules remake.


Hudson is keen to follow in the footsteps of her fellow Dreamgirls cast members Beyoncé, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy and Anika Noni Rose by appearing in one of the studio’s motion pictures.


She said: “Y’all listen close. All my Dreamgirls cast members, this is a fun fact, have been in Disney films. Anika [Noni Rose], Beyoncé, Jamie [Foxx], Eddie [Murphy] has [sic] done everything. Where’s my Disney role?”

And Hudson knows just the part she would be perfect for: Calliope in Hercules.


She said: “I was Calliope, the head muse, on a Disney cruise ship, so that means I’m ready for my part. We are the muses, goddesses of the arts and proclaimers of heroes. That was me, Calliope.”

She added: “So I’m ready, just roll the camera. You ain’t even got to send a script, I don’t need the music. I’m ready to shoot. So I’ll just wait for your call, thank you.”
