Kate Hudson Embraces New Chapter, Seeks Deeper Roles

0:00This is your entertainment update for March 17th. Kate Hudson stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, looking totally casual and make-up free. The 46-year-old actress wore comfy lounge clothes just days after the Oscars, where she missed out on best actress for her role in Song-Song, Blue. That film is a biographical musical drama about a Neil Diamond Tribute band, and she starred opposite Hugh Jackman. Jesse Buckley took home the award instead for her work Inhamnet. This marks Hudson's second Oscar nod overall, following the best supporting actress nomination back in 2001 for Almost Famous. Hudson has three kids who are growing up fast, also in Ryder 22, with ex-Christ Robinson, Bingham 14, with Musi Singer, Matt Bellamy, and Daughterani 7, with fiance Danny Fujikawa. With them getting older, she's embracing more freedom in her personal and professional life. She's been known for fun rom-coms like bride wars and how to lose a guy in 10 days, but now she wants to break away from that box.

Hudson sees this as the start of her next career chapter, focusing on roles that draw crowds while letting her stretch as an actress. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor.
