bigted Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I didn't watch the oscars last night but I read on the internet just now that Jamie Foxx won. Foxx Offers Most Memorable Speech By RYAN PEARSON Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES - With warmhearted memories and an entertainer's light touch, Jamie Foxx did his grandma proud. Foxx's acceptance of the best-actor Oscar for his uncanny embodiment of Ray Charles in "Ray" was the night's behind-the-microphone highlight - demonstrating a blend of poise and passion unmatched by previous winners. His thoughtful speech featured a Sidney Poitier impression and a tearful recollection of his grandmother Estelle, his "first acting teacher." "She told me stand up straight, shoulders back. Act like you've got some sense," he said. "And she still talks to me now, only now she talks to me in my dreams. And I can't wait to go to sleep tonight because we have a lot to talk about."

JumpinJack AJ Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I didn't watch them either...they usually bore me outta my mind. But i also checked the winners after they were over. When i saw Jamie Foxx won best actor, i waz so happy. He deserve all the good things that come his way. Have u seen his new special on Comedy Central, featuring urban comics? Check if u can, cuz they are hilarious. Did I, Robot or Sharktale win that Special Effects award? I waz assuming Spider-Man would get it but i really wanna know. If someone saw them televised, let us know what scenes they aired when mentioning the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWildWillennium Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 He definitely deserved it. Neither I,Robot or Shark Tale won an award. The Incredibles won best Animated Feature Film, and Spider-Man 2 won best Visual Effects. They showed the 'car accident' scene in I,Robot with all the robots jumping on the car.
