The 46-year-old actress arrived in a sultry pink gown paired with luxurious fur, radiating the signature California cool she has perfected over her career. “Being honoured by the Costume Designers Guild with the Spotlight Award is so special and meaningful to me,” she said while accepting the award.
Hudson emphasized the importance of costume designers in shaping her performances, adding, “Throughout my career, costume designers have been such incredible collaborators, helping to create authentic, powerful characters.”
Hudson joins a prestigious group of past recipients, including Cate Blanchett and Charlize Theron, who have been recognized for their dedication to the craft. Her appearance comes at a high point in her career, as she is currently a frontrunner in the Best Actress race for her role in the musical drama Song Sung Blue, directed by Craig Brewer. In the film, she stars opposite Hugh Jackman as Claire Sardina, one half of a real-life husband-and-wife Neil Diamond tribute band, navigating both musical performance and complex emotional moments.
This marks Hudson’s first Academy Award nomination in 25 years, her first since her breakout role as Penny Lane in Almost Famous. The nomination has reignited attention to her versatile career, reminding audiences that she excels not only in romantic comedies but also in dramatic roles.
Hudson is also thriving in television, starring in the Netflix comedy series Running Point, produced by Mindy Kaling. The show features her as a woman managing a professional basketball team, blending high stakes with humor, and has recently been renewed for a second season.
She also starred in the dystopian horror-thriller Shell with Elisabeth Moss, playing a glamorous wellness mogul with a dark secret, further demonstrating her range across genres.
Looking ahead, Hudson has a rumored collaboration with her mother, Goldie Hawn, and a voice role in a major animated franchise slated for late 2026. Despite her busy schedule and Oscar campaign, she made time to honor the collaborators who help bring her characters to life.
