She made her first public appearance at last week's Super Bowl where she lip-synced to a stirring rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which she had pre-recorded.
She received a standing ovation as she took the stage in Los Angeles Sunday to collect her Grammy Award from presenter Whitney Houston.
"I'm just in awe right now," Hudson told the audience. "But first I would like to thank God, who has brought me through. I would like to thank my family in heaven and those who are here."
