In a show of support for her upcoming film, Song Sung Blue, Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has made a bold prediction: Kate Hudson is a shoo-in for an Academy Award. The 58-year-old actor, who stars alongside Hudson in the musical biopic, made the endorsement at the 35th annual Gotham Awards in New York City on Monday. Hudson, who has not received an Oscar nomination since her breakout role in Almost Famous in 2001, is being touted as a frontrunner for the award this season. Her performance in Song Sung Blue, which is centered on the story of Mike and Claire Sardina, the couple behind the Neil Diamond tribute act Lightning & Thunder, has generated significant buzz. The Gotham Awards, which celebrate excellence in independent filmmaking, marked one of the first major stops on the awards circuit for Song Sung Blue. The ceremony also marked the film's official campaign kickoff. While Hudson remains humble about her chances, Jackman is confident that she will take home the golden statuette. 'Kate Hudson is not only an incredible actress, but she brings a depth and nuance to her performances that is truly exceptional,' he said. 'I have no doubt that she will be recognized for her outstanding work in Song Sung Blue.' The film, which has already sparked strong awards buzz following early screenings at the American Film Institute Festival, is set to open in theaters soon. With Jackman's endorsement and Hudson's impressive performance, it's clear that Song Sung Blue is a serious contender for Oscar glory.
