Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson graced the stage at the 2015 Academy Awards in an emotionally strong rendition.

The singer performed right after the Memorium was shown of all the talented actors, writers, artists and more who died in the past year presented by Meryl Streep.

Hudson won an Academy Award in 2007 for Best Supporting Actress in the movie-musical Dreamgirls. She also came in at seventh place on American Idol in 2004.

Lady Gaga will be making her way on the stage later in the evening.
