Jennifer Hudson today with Oprah Winfrey -- the latest on the Oscar-winner after her family tragedy. Looking fantastic in all black, tight pants, boots, a low cut top and blazer, she gushed about her first Grammy win, saying that having Whitney Houston present her with the award "almost surpassed winning the Grammy." "I'm good," she said when asked how she's doing. "I'm really good. Glad to be back to working and doing what I love to do. I'm in a very good place." She's also created a good place for her awards -- in her piano room! The singer has playfully named her three dogs after her accomplishments; Oscar, Grammy and Dreamgirl. Afterwards she took the stage to perform "If This Isn't Love" from her self-titled debut album, delivering yet another memorable performance in a series of recent TV appearances.
