Jamie Foxx winning Best Actor for "Ray"

[suberkin]

wow it's weird to see leonardo dicaprio with gisele bundchen

[GuerrillaThrillah]

All of em deserved the award. Seriously movies like Hotel Rwanda etc are great movies.

[EGOGAN6]

why is his speech so long and everyone else's is so short

[AliBoulalaSTP]

charlize theron looks yummie.

[itsMauriceCassidy]

0:43 Natalie Portman is like "aww, what a great father" lol

[balaine]

I think that the first time I cried laugh and cried again in 5 mins .......Jamie is amazing

[90Randy90]

Damnit...who put these bowl of onions here.

[sanderkoe2]

That whas A.M.A.Z.I.N.G :)!

[Oerjeke]

Jamie deserved that award for sure. One of the best movies I've ever had the pleasure to sit through and I still like to watch it occasionally. Also, did anyone notice the Gonzo fist on Johnny Depp's tie or whatever you call that? I find that pretty awesome.

[naliyouai]

leo did not stand up applauding

[nholt]

Oprah should have won for best audience member.

[guyvh]

Best speech ever

[JuanDeAndaPeriodista]

Did anyone else notice Oprah's Black Power fist pump around 2:42?

[TheWarya]

None of the actors there got as much skills as Jamie Foxx,,i mean he can act.. he can sing.. and he is a funny guy who loves comedy !!

[legomanic342]

3:59 You can just see the emotion pouring out ;) he deserved it.

[nauris708]

please OPRAH.TRYING TO MAKE IT ABOUT YOU

[mikewriter]

@nauris708 When does she not do that?

[nauris708]

Charlize is a stone cold BITCH

[ely7889]

Jamie Foxx is the bh¡est actor in the world !! 

[TheSimmonsFilmCo]

Who the fuck let Jay Z in there????

[evansjd2]

@TheSimmonsFilmCo the world will never know haha

[buzzlolyear]

@TheSimmonsFilmCo i cant stand him

[MrIceDutch]

@TheSimmonsFilmCo the illuminati

[mizzlalababy]

@TheSimmonsFilmCo

I think his wife was performing there that night. I think.

[RayMagic12192]

@TheSimmonsFilmCo whats the problem

[impec]

I think it was impossible to beat Jamie that night ! I looked at every movie in competition for this oscar that night, and i agree that Mr. Foxx was on another artistic level !

[yadro]

Don Cheadle looked very jealous. Dont worry mate, U will win someday ;)

[HomerSETH9]

good! he deserves the reward. he played an excellent roll in the movie that brought tears to my eyes

[China6296]

Did y'all see Jay-z and his father-in-law, they looked like a Camel and a Wild Goose!!!

[RebelsToSociety]

eastwood looked pissed

[Alllove87]

Aaaaaaaw Jaimeeee....:)

[prettyreckless2700]

please give leonardo dicaprio one at some point too!

[Rosannasfriend]

Charlize is wearing one of the best Oscar dresses EVER!

[spacejesusadventure]

Shoulda been dicaprio

[0091vincentny]

foxx is one typical arrogant black dude, but damnit he is talented musically and as an actor

[bigdaddee111]

all that were nominated all deserved it, but Jamie toook the cake, this time. I gotta say that the speech he gave is awesome. all you haters find a time to appreciate talent instead of hating.

[MachineintheSky]

damn, this made me cry.

[Sydney1Em]

Who else saw Jay-Z out there celebrating?

[kabsy0utuber]

Better luck next time Leo! Halle is GORGEOUS!!!!

[theAbrissness]

Fuck Oprah

[MarwaSiam]

Morgran Freeman knows what getting your ass whupped feels like (4:22)

[mrrickstur]

@MarwaSiam LOL!



[leonardodp34]

Another interesting thing is Jamie Foxx, in that same year, was nominated as Supporting Actor in Collateral. Morgan Freeman won for Million Dollar Baby.

[leonardodp34]

We see in this video the stars of Django Unchained (2012), Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.

[TheImperialistStates]

Lol everyone else knew they lost before it even was announced.

[ojhda]

Cred to Jamie but it pains me to see Leo not getting one year after year, and and based on the comment under minde I can tell I'm not the only one!

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

@ojhda He's not that good.

[TheForceOfMusic101]

@AcademyAwardsPerson I actually thought he was really good. He was not only able to play Ray exactly down to the voice and the movements, but he was able to ac like a heroin addict perfectly. I thought Jamie nailed the role. But then again, we are both entitled to our own opinions.

[1313fidel]

@AcademyAwardsPerson dont hate,and yes hes that good and u know it ............patna!!

[Allanoster]

That was one of the most beautiful speeches I've ever heard.

[Pocahontas400]

I swear leonardo better win something that man is a TIMELESS actor

[lennymarignier]

@Pocahontas400

I agree that he's a fantastic actor, but he falls into the trap of playing similar roles way too often. But I agree that he should get recognised in the near future

[powerniman]

i think leo has deserve that price. foxx was realy good but leo was a little better.

[impec]

@powerniman thx for sharing your opinion...

[jferkfjkj]

pure class

[vivekrbs]

don cheadle was the man that year

[matizzle32]

Jamie Foxx did the best job anybody could do at being Ray Charles, but I still think Leo deserved this Oscar.

[elgenionuevo2]

@matizzle32 where?????? never..

[BigRoSickFlow]

i thinkk he was acting on stage he wasent really cryinggg...good show thoo

[tabularasaconfirmed]

Everything aside did anyone see Halle Berry? She looked like a goddess (even more-so)

[dal4018]

@tabularasaconfirmed Yes she did but what is so unusual about that

[tabularasaconfirmed]

Everything aside did anyone see Halle Berry? She looked like a goddess (even more-so)

[tabularasaconfirmed]

Everything aside did anyone see Halle Berry? She looked like a goddess (even moreso)

[aboo00oode992]

the way of the future. the way of the future. the way of the future. the way of the future. the way of the future. the way of the future. the way of the future. the way of the future !!!

OMG how Leo lost the oscar that year ??

[aboo00oode992]

DiCaprio was the best for me !!

[KDavydov787]

morgan freedman banged his grnad ma and taught her how to woop ass

[MrDoctorlove85]

Oprah shaking her head thinking ' No the fuck I didn't ' lol

[GreenGoblinsOckVenom]

it's a shame Tom Cruise wasn't nominated for Collateral.

[kubrox91]

I really think of Mr. Foxx like another Bing Crosby, accomplished in both music and acting.

[davyboy176]

Watch this one Melissa,its heartbreaking , love you babe

[BonnyGurl316]

I literally just cried at the end of this.

[dancerchic77]

Jamie was good, but Leonardo was better..

[dancerchic77]

Jamie was good, but Leonardo was better imo. 

[dancerchic77]

Jamie was good, but Leonardo was better. D:

[ritsfata]

As absolutely incredible as this performance was, this REALLY should have gone to Don.

[luvsthatmagic]

I don't give a damn what anybody says Jamie deserved that !

[vv06081990]

what a tough year...

[Arlogder]

They are all good at what they do. Some stories are easier acted than others though and this one was a toughie. Jamie deserved it.

[Wesleech]

I was just waiting to be pissed off when he didn't win.

[XFS540]

Is he being serious about the beating and the whipping?

[AviaryFilm]

Foxx's performance was exceptional. He was indistinguishable from the man himself.

[jobee83]

Very well deserved.

[debidubeux]

DiCaprio was exceptional!! Some times i forgot that he was just an actor!

[plasticbrook]

I love Jamie Foxx and thought he did a fabulous job as Ray...but Don Cheadle should have taken that Oscar home that night.

[drxwnedxwxrld]

he just stands there in the end like he deserved that oscar.. his performance is mediocre at best and this IS one of the most undeserving oscars ever.

[GMPro24]

@drxwnedxwxrld u mad?

[TheCanucks12345]

Don't worry guys. Leonardo Dicaprio is going to win best actor this year for J Edgar.

[TheQueenl92]

I CRIED

[TheCanucks12345]

@TheQueenl92 Me too

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

Love how Cate Blanchett didn't stand up. She probably thought, "How the fuck did he win?"

[GMPro24]

@AcademyAwardsPerson fuck cate blanchett :)

[diegosimeone]

@AcademyAwardsPerson

stupido!!!!

[whotaughtyou]

GOING BACK 1:1 TORTURE PRISON TRAINING?

SCOIUANDTRACK

[LotN2]

JAMIE! JAMIE!

[xHumanCentiPadx]

He absolutely deserved an Oscar that year, i don't care what anybody says. The masterful way he portrayed Ray Charles would have would have driven the man himself to tears.

[Bakerwest1]

As you watch him holding up that trophy, pause and think about how God has blessed him from In Living Color to there...that's a blessing. God Bless you my brother

[Streetlights10]

Leo should've had it...

[littlenaitch2]

@hockpatooey That comment was definitely ridiculous.

[dehro]

such a shame ray charles never got to see the movie

[aobb223]

@dehro you mean...hear the movie??

[HelloCincinnati]

i want him to be my dad!

[cblovme2]

They all deserved to win this award to be honest ! I'm glad I wasnt in the jury lol

[dw29376]

Damn, made me cry!

[JRope18]

but jamie foxx is the only person maybe in history that could play ray.. with his musical talent, acting talent, and impersonation skills

[JokinglySerious]

its should have gone to dicaprio, hand down.

[Bjorkadmirer]

Lovely, just lovely. He is really just as warm in person.

[iamsarahreid]

I love how all the nominees had their fine ass women sitting next to them, and Jamie had his daughter. Imagine how much her dad was superman in her eyes that night. Hehe..aw.

[cutiepanthertigger]

The music makes it that much better

[ferreirainfante]

And the Oscar goes... for DJANGOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[9xxx9]

charlize theron is so hot!!

[Samuelgespenst]

I like Jamie Foxx but the oscar belonged to Leonardo DiCaprio, in my opinion.

[Marcusx1980]

@Samuelgespenst I think Leo will win his Oscar for J Edgar. A sneeky suspition I Have :)

[torr5962]

For anyone who has ever seen Hotel Rwanda....they know who deserved the Oscar this year.

[anjelheaven]

@torr5962 What's sad is that he still doesn't have an Oscar!

[jmpatison]

@torr5962 But when they see Ray, they'll understand why I consider his performance one of the top ten Best Actor Winners of all time.

[scottabreitbarth]

@torr5962 You clearly don't know how hard it is to have your eyes "make-uped" shut for an average of nine hours a day over several months.

[lostchild06]

@torr5962 True

[woodbrandon1]

@torr5962 And anybody who has ever seen Ray, they know why Jamie Foxx won the Oscar this year

[tomboy287]

@woodbrandon1 thank ray was more powerful than hotel rwanda sorry but thats the truth

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

@tomboy287 Hahaha, you're kidding? You've got to be kidding.

[GHound420]

@torr5962 yea not Don Cheadle, try watching the Aviator before making assumptions like that.

[starwarscary]

@torr5962 But have you also seen Ray?

[Streeetball3r]

@torr5962 But have you seen ray goddammit!?

[klvnry]

@torr5962 don cheadle...deserves a couple of ocscars...lol

[Noubsie]

@torr5962 I've seen both. Jamie foxx was by far the best actor that year. It's incredible how accurately he portrays him.

[dal4018]

@torr5962 Unfortunately Don Cheadle was beaten out by a better performance

[Rosannasfriend]

@dal4018 I disagree. Cheadle was better. A lot more goes into why an actor wins an Oscar. For the last several years, someone who played a real-life person USUALLY has the momentum going in.

[QUHectic212]

this should've been one of the yrs for the Academy to have a 4 way tie and give all noms an Oscar

[hpcrazy123]

so gracious leo sooo gracious you will have your time !

[YANTOSEM]

I just wanna look Leo winning Oscar. Lol

[WutangClan4LiF3]

Sorry i came for Jamie Foxx But OMG CHARLIZE

[Micha290592]

This is so sad.. I saw his Life Story on MTV once. And I remember that he was raised by his grandparents, because his mother couldn't take care of him. And it was clear that he cared very much for them. When his grandmother died they said he was depressed for some time.. I think he just really thanked and honored her in a very emotional but beautiful way.

[hopeagainsthope90]

oh my god i love oprah !!!

[SamLim1391]

Wowww what a crazyyyy nomination lineup!!! Jamie definitely deserved it. Then Don Cheadle in my opinion comes 2nd

[QUHectic212]

If Jamie didn't win it would've been Cheadle hands down

[kellyshmellly]

Don Cheadle for hotel rwanda should have got it

[bobbobby1987]

hahah...3:32....that girl in the golden clothes looks so insecure. She's pretty, not sure why she decided to look retarded.

[Denisehealthnut]

His daughter looked as nervous as he did, aww beautiful, okay I cried!



[style4you]

Love this! :)))

[cchsmadskillz72]

I've seen The Aviator and always loved Leo's movies, but the people that say Leo should've won obviously haven't seen Ray. No bash on the nominees, they're all amazing.

[carmen260495]

Leonardo deserved this Oscar.

[reeselw]

They all deserve it so much..

[Troboughbo]

4:22 Morgan wants a beating

[BrianRaider]

wow. Congrats Jamie

[MrThatSuperCoolGuy]

Keep Pressing 2:42 and its pretty cool, look at the guy up top moving his jaw.

[SiNgHayStyle]

GO JAMIE!!

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

"First of all, man, give it up to Ray Charles for living."

[MJJFan01]

Jamie Foxx gave an amazing performance in Ray. Its black history.

[AsSheLikesIt]

Don Cheadle!!!

[devid1969]

Di Caprio and Cheadle had the best performances....

[carmen260495]

@devid1969 Yeah,Leonardo DiCaprio totally deserved this.

[pay0pay0pay0]

@hockpatooey what are you taking about shut up

[IStandAlone101]

i almost cried wow how sweet

[PawtucketPatriot66]

Don Cheadle should have one this Oscar........Jamie Foxx was just the popular choice. Don Cheadle had the performance of the year.

[IClarke2974]

@PawtucketPatriot66 dude have u even seen Ray, cause jamie foxx in that movie is just fantastic and he deserved it as much as anyone of those other actor

[amukoshi]

He's gone own it in Django. Along with DiCaprio, Sam L and Chris Waltz, such a badass line up.

[imcool1347]

i was hoping for don cheadle but hey, im okay with this.jpg

[ohsnapitsme59]

He was just brilliant. But so was Don Cheadle...his day is coming!

[123Jenny90]

Charlize is GORGEOUS! 

[DMONEYDONG]

clint eastwood would fucking kill him with his bare hands

[Voicecolors]

My god Charlize is a vision!

[ferreirainfante]

DJANGOOOOO!!!!!!

[ebonie2]

What the bald up fist, isn't racist! Anyone who knows Black culture it means pride! Being Proud of who you are and stand strong. People of color should be proud of who they are. God has created all of us. It is because of racist people that has caused us (Blacks) to be ashamed of who we are. No matter what color or race you are be proud of it! God is not ashamed of his creation!

[jerryjr37]

@ebonie2 Amen sista Amen!!!!!

[mallo8601]

mallo860 i think who deserved win was leonardo dicaprio

[mallo8601]

mallo8601 i just can't understand how an actor like johnny depp has never won an oscar , he is one of the best actors i've ever seen

[arika71]

@mallo8601 exactly what i think

[ohsnapitsme59]

@mallo8601 Because he keeps making junk like Pirates of the Caribbean. He is good, I agree.

[logistica2011senac]

mallo 860 i just can't understand how an actor like johnny depp has never won an oscar, he is one of the best actors i've ever seen

[EdTV20]

LMAO congrats Jamie

[emonsterplonked]

amazing speech!!!!

[Basinstreetfollies]

Grandmama's are Very special..and I'm so happy he thanked his. Sadly the "Old Foggie" granny's are no longer here. Because American Society has lost it's value,shine and whole some charm from the past. ....Here's to the old time granny's born from 1901-1915...RIP For your Home spun values will continue..

[starr522]

Opinions are like assholes, we all have one. Just my opinion. Jamie Foxx did the best job in a film. Deserved the Oscar. But, " The African Dream" ? and Oprah raising her fist in defiance? Damn, and they call white people racist. How s your network working out Oprah? About as well as the CHANGE OBama promised? Both are doomed. WEhites aren t the rascist anymore, said to say that the Blacks are.

[mrRMN28]

who's the lady at 3:31 in the silver dress that isnt charlize theron?
