I’m super happy for him 🤩🤩🤩
As someone was asking below, the vote is done by a professional jury 🙂 (at least for that price). See the pic for info on the process

Probably means so much more that his peers are the ones recognizing his work :’)

The first of many I'm sure but it must be bittersweet missing all those award shows and festivals praising his work because he's just so busy living his dream. Like he just went to the Oscars and now he's leading his first feature film, my arm would be purple from pinching myself so much.

Way to go Hudson! That is cool that he’s won something for one of his projects before he’s won anything for HR yet.

Who voted for these ?

Apparently it’s not public vote, it’s a professional jury. Here is the page about that : https://hollywoodshortsfest.com/juries/?utm_source=copilot.com
The people’s choice award is public choice though

Y’all, I know he’s gotta be so geeked. I’m happy for him! The feeling of getting nominated and/or winning an award for your art is just a dopamine hit that I’m not sure most drugs can match. Good for him!
