@@Davidscomix I won't say that's true for everybody, there are some people who feel it but don't say it too often, and there are some people who realise this kind of a thing with age. Being a good daughter or son depends more on what you do for your parents than what you say to them.

Its a honor just to be nominated. Which is why actors still put it on their biography regardless if they win or not.

[@ChannelPKtown]

If anyone has seen Jamie's Foxx's documentary, his parents abandoned him and he was raised by his grandmother. This is why this speech and his life is amazing. He grew up always wanting his parent's attention... they lived in Texas as well but in another city. I don't know why. But from a young age, Jamie thought, if I can excel in everything, maybe they will come and watch me play. He learned piano, singing, dancing, and he was the starting QB at his high school and broke passing records. But still his parents never came to watch him. Only his grandmother. If his parents are alive... they are definitely watching him now. On TV, In Movies, Magazines, and accepting one of the highest awards in entertainment, Leading Role in a Film at The Academy Awards. For those who don't have the best relationship with your parents. Believe in yourself. Work Hard and Dream Big. Although America has many faults, it is still the land of dreams. Look at Jamie Foxx... Dream Big.

Yeah, if there was no Jamie Fox's movie, Don would've got the oscar. Better performance than the aviator and finding never land (i didn't saw Million dollar baby so i don't know abt it)

[@elainedotson6718]

After I say "Ray", I walked out of that theater, spellbound. I could just see Jamie Foxx, standing on a stage, in a tux, and holding a Oscar. He and Ray worked together, and I was happy that Ray heard the soundtrack before his death. I only recently found out that the song "Ray's Rockhouse" was about him

[@silkuk8417]

Jamie Foxx in Ray is still one of the greatest performances I have ever seen.

[@romancetrtmusic]

Still my fave acceptance speech of all time. Makes me tear up everytime!

[@tommiexander]

Jamie Foxx made Ray Charles come to life in that movie. He owned Ray Charles character. He was exceptional in that movie, and without a doubt he deserved that Oscar. He would have been cheated if he had not won that Oscar.

Not only is Jamie Foxx one of the most talented, actor, entertainers in American history, but he gave the most heartwarming acceptance speech I’ve ever heard. So proud.

Jamie and Halle are two of my favorite speeches. So touching and powerful.

[@quintin1904]

Eastwood and Leo were both amazing. But Foxx deserved that Oscar. He BECAME Ray Charles

[@ellarose423]

Leo became the actor he portrayed too

[@Izaan2810]

@@ellarose423 I disagree. I personally wasn't a fan. I thought that it was fine. Definitely not better than Foxx. Personally I would have preferred Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine and Paul Giamatti in Sideways over DiCaprio in Aviator. The only Oscar I feel Leo actually should have won and deserved it would have been the one for Django Unchained instead of Christoph Waltz. And I would have given his Revenant award to Fassbender or Redmayne.

[@ellarose423]

@@Izaan2810 well, your right edmayne and fass were great in their movies but I don't belive they were better than Leo's revenant though I would agree that the revenant was not exactly his most deserving oscar on the aspect of ACTING. I mean looking at strenuous activity then yes but no purely acting. I still belive he deserved aviator, he was too good in that movie. One of his most difficult roles, not many actors can act movies that tell a real life story not to now talk of when that character has OCD. Thats one of the most difficult things definitely and leo left no stone unturned. He absolutely bodied his aviator role. I also belive leo was robbed for whats eating gilbert grape and yes django unchained too! Imagine he wasn't even nominated, he definitely deserved it over waltz for sure

[@Izaan2810]

@@ellarose423I agree with his performance in Django Unchained though. For his performance in Gilbert Grape, I would have rooted for him any other day just not that year because Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List was just a fucking MONSTER and Val Kilmer a fucking BEAST in Tombstone. Like arguably the greatest villainous portrayal ever. Like not only was he the best supporting actor of that year, I would argue that he was indeed the best supporting performance of the entire 90s decade. So really unfortunate for Leo to go against him that year. I really Denzel in Philadelphia as well. For the year Leo won for Revenant, Fassbender was just way way solid in his roles in my opinion as well as many even better performances that didn't get nominated. Looking back Fassbender was just incredible. People didn't get it back then but now most do. I would have let Tom Hardy win for his performance in Legend 2015.

[@Izaan2810]

@Ab Well that's the thing! I am an actor here. And I tell you that DiCaprio absolutely failed to embody his character by every means possible. Technically, Don Cheadle was by far the best actor in all the lineup. His performance in Hotel Rwanda was absolutely a powerhouse performance, superior to all by a country mile and I felt was the only one who deserved to get nominated. I have changed my opinion on Foxx' performance as well in these few weeks/months after watching Ray recently. Not that impressed by him either. Bruno Ganz for Downfall or Jim Carrey for Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind would have been the overall Oscar winners in my book regardless. Howard Hughes was a really complex character. DiCaprio was DiCaprio here for the most movie. DiCaprio failed to imitate him without coming off stiff and overacting for most part.

[@CashflowisContagious]

Charlize Theron presenting you the academy award doesn't get any better...well done.

[@ronburgundy244]

Cashflow is Contagious! Jaime Fox was probably thinking "I love my life!" As he walked on stage.

[@Gemnist98]

Charlize presented it because she won the previous year. That’s how it works: the Best Actress winner from last year presents the Best Actor award for this year, and Vice versa; same goes for the supporting categories.

What everyone may forget about this award and why he was uniquely deserving is that he was also nominated as Best Supporting Actor for Collateral a different kind of film along with Tom Cruise which also showed his immense versatility in the same acting calendar year. If not for Morgan Freeman's performance in Million Dollar Baby Foxx would have won that as well.

[@writerzblock00]

That was a very difficult category. those movies were amazing. I didn't see the Johnny Depp movie but Million Dollar Baby was amazing. so was the aviator and Hotel Rwanda. just amazing acting in all of those but Jamie Foxx became Ray Charles. I almost with the other movies came out at different times because they deserved to be celebrated but they couldn't touch Ray.

[@feiwongmighty]

Anyone that has seen the movie "Ray" knows that he was well deserving of this award. His absolute brilliance of portraying Ray Charles's life and how he came about was just astonishing. His acting in the role of Ray Charles was in my eyes, the greatest acting of all-time. I don't care what anyone thinks of my opinion, because his acting left a mark in my heart for the most influential artist who've ever came about. I know it's been over a decade now Jamie, but I still have to acknowledge the talent and the brilliance in which you put into the movie. And to that I say thank you. This award, still to this day was the greatest award handed out to an actor in a leading role.

[@D.Salazar]

I agree fully! This was the movie that made me realize just how multi-talented Mr. Jamie Foxx is. He can do everything from singing a George Strait song (to him) to meeting & portraying, heck not portraying, becoming Ray Charles! Sadly, I didn't see Ray until this past yr when I purchased a Jamie Foxx DVD collection. That along with his performance as the homeless street performer (the title escapes me at the moment), sealed the deal of me being a life long fan!
