Oh, say can you see Jennifer Hudson in Colorado?
The Oscar winner has been tapped to whistle the national anthem Thursday, the night Barack Obama is set to treat the progressively star-studded Democratic National Convention for the first time as his party's official candidate for president of the United States.
Meaning, no more of that "presumptive nominee" stuff.
"She's thrilled and excited. It's a awful honor," said a rep for Hudson, who told E! Online's Marc Malkin in June that she'd love to stump for Obama.
"I'm so proud and excited for him. I haven't gotten a call from them yet, just he does have my support."
The conventionality, currently afoot in Denver, is the destination du jour this week for, among others, big-time Obama supporters such as Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Kanye West, Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, Spike Lee, Susan Sarandon and Annette Bening.
Bruce Springsteen will be on beg to close out the festivities Thursday night.
