"Dreamgirls" was one of only two films that earned awards in more than one movie category, with its victory as best musical or comedy, as well as wins for stars Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson, who won best supporting actor and best supporting actress. ("The Queen," which won best actress in a drama and best screenplay, was the other.)
"This goes far beyond everything I could have ever imagined," an emotional Hudson said in accepting her award, the first of the evening. "You do not know how much this does for my confidence. ... It makes me feel like I'm part of a community."
Hudson dedicated her award to Florence Ballard, one of the singers from the Supremes -- the musical group on which "Dreamgirls" is loosely based.
Murphy was as calm as Hudson was effusive.
"Wow. I'll be damned," said Murphy, who plays a slick soul singer in the film. He thanked a number of executives and artists, concluding with "This is a nice moment |

Jennifer was humble in accepting her award and was classy in dedicating her award to Flo. Thank you, Jennifer, for creating a memorable Golden Globe moment. |

The awards were nice. Jennifer Hudson seemed FLOORED by her winning. I was surprised Eddie won but kudos to him.
Does anyone know why the Golden Globes do not have musical performances?
I wondered why she dedicated to Flo Ballard when as you say the film is "loosly" based on the Supremes? There were enough differences between the charachter and Flo's story.
Either way, i'm sure Flo's sister was touched  |

I was pleased Jennifer Hudson won. She deserved it. I wish she would have said "Florence Ballard of the Supremes" so more people around the globe would have known who she was dedicating her honor to.
But I knew and it was a gracious gesture.
It was the first time Florence has been honored like that on an international program.
Congrats to eddie Murphy as well.
He and Hudson are on their way to the Oscar races.
