Jamie gets a nomination, but I dont think he will win. Its amazing though, watching the Jamie Foxx show and thinking "This man is going to be nominated for an Oscar". Hell, Denzel didnt even get one for Malcolm X, and didnt get nominated (I dont think) for John Q. I think Jamie is getting alot of attention because he is a comedian, and how he suprised everyone in Collateral and now Ray. What was his last movie, Breaking All The Rules? Just thinking back, THE MANNERISMS, they make the movie more than his voice, the music, anything to me. Jamie had it down pat.
In the newspaper last Sunday they had a preview for Ray and an interview with Jamie and he said something like "Alot of these guys went to acting school and studied it all of their lives and they take it too serious. I was an athlete in school, I never studied this. I just do it to have fun."
