Chicago’s own Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson returned to the Oscars stage Sunday for a solo performance that brought the house down.
The performance-heavy Oscars also included a salute to the resurgence of movie musicals in the last decade with Academy Award winners Catherine Zeta-Jones singing “All That Jazz” from “Chicago” and Hudson doing “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from “Dreamgirls.” Hudson won a best supporting actress Oscar in 2006 for her role in the movie-musical.
