Former American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson won an Oscar for best supporting Actress. I guess this provides inspiration for other American Idol hopefuls who are voted off early. You can still star in feature films, make records and win awards. Even if Idol contentant Antonella Barba is disqualified for nude photos of her all over the internet she can take solace in the fact that next year she could win big at the AVN awards.
