Gorgeous dress! Everyone is looking really really good. Why don't they dress this way for the Oscars?

“Adele’s song ‘Someone Like You’ captivates me, the lyrics move me. She’s my favorite artist of the year along with Ms. [Nicki] Minaj who is my favorite artist in the hip hop nomination,” the 30-year-old entertainer, who’s presenting at the show, told JustJared.com on the red carpet.

FYI: Jennifer is wearing a Jenny Packham dress.

Am I the only one who thinks she can't really act?

She is slightly more natural onscreen than Beyonce, which isn't saying a lot.

No, I thought she had one amazing song in Dreamgirls but the rest of the performance was just average. The only other movie of hers that I've seen was SATC and she wasn't bad just nothing special.

She must have an incredible team.

I think she has an incredible story - American Idol loser eventually becomes an Oscar nominee; marries a VH1 reality dating contestant-turned-WWW wrestler, loses her mom and nephew to a crazed murderer, and is a big girl then loses a ton of weight... that's enough for a Lifetime move of the week right there.

Jennifer Hudson: My Fiancé Saved My Life

Jennifer Hudson has avoided speaking publicly about the horrific murders of her mother and brother, but in a rare moment of candor she's opened up about why she believes her life was spared that day in October 2008.

It was her fiancé, David Otunga, who inadvertently kept Hudson out of Chicago – all because he implored her to visit him in Florida where he was working with the World Wrestling Entertainment franchise.

"That's one of the things that saved my life, because I could have been home with my mom then," Hudson says in an interview in the December/January issue of Ebony. "[Otunga] wanted me to come out to Florida with him instead of going to Chicago."

Hudson continued, "I flew out to see him; that's why I'm still here. I've never said that before, and I can't believe I just said that now. But I didn't know. He was just like, 'I'm going to this wrestling thing, and it's in Tampa. I'm going out there now, so you can come out there and see me versus going home.' "

The murder trial for the killing of her mother, brother, and nephew is about to begin this month. A jury has been selected. At last.
