Award-show aficionados may have noticed that Kate Hudson looked pretty upset that she didn’t win the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. (Rose Byrne won for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, and in her speech, she clarified, jokingly, that she didn’t sing.) Hudson has been a bit of a lightning rod, after her performance as one half of a Neil Diamond tribute duo in Song Song Blue also got her nominated for an Actor Award (the atrocious new name for the SAG Awards). But here’s the thing: People shouldn’t be surprised, because she is that good. There’s a scene with Hugh Jackman near the end of the film where she has an epiphany about what she wants to do in her life that will take your breath away. Click through to Substack for the full, impassioned case on why Hudson has earned her place among this year’s Best Actress contenders, and should be nominated for her first Oscar since Almost Famous, 25 years ago.
