Jennifer Hudson is GLAAD

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson presents the “Excellence in Media” award to her heroine Patti LaBelle onstage at the 18th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at NYC’s Marriott Marquis Hotel on Monday night.

“I didn’t know you were this nice,” Patti told the future Grammy winner, noting she’d never met her before their joint appearance.

A clearly moved Jennifer responded with: “You are who I idolize.”

The duo then brought the house down when they launched into their a cappella rendition of “Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen.”
