Oscar Winner Jamie Foxx Wins Best Actor ►► ruclips.net/user/shorts3hG3HtwwJ-M
When you beat Johnny Depp Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood you know you've made it.
Hey, don't forget Don Cheadle, now lol.
@@kendallrivers1119 right
@@kendallrivers1119 hahahahaha
@@kendallrivers1119 seriously. that year was definitely foxx > LD > cheadle > eastwood > depp. can't leave him out
Don Cheadle would be next if Jamie didn't win
"If you don't win Dad, you're still good", truely mature words coming from a 10 year old girl.
I'd say the same thing and who ever wouldn't is not a very good daughter or son
@@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.
@@nikhilbharali5298 you’re right, I just always thought any kid would say this to their parents
In addition,she must be getting 30 or 40 by this time,man she be gorgeous 😍🙌💞✌️just in case, we'll catch up some day😷👍
Its a honor just to be nominated. Which is why actors still put it on their biography regardless if they win or not.
"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." Jamie Foxx--you are a southern gentleman inside and out. Your grandmother saw your gifts and helped you, Amen!
Yeah, that part tore me up. Nothing is better than a grandmother’s love.
I wish I had that kind of grandmother. It's a bummer that I don't but I know she loves me in her own way she just doesn't like to say it or admit it.
Wauw💯❤
Any man brave enough to cry in front of a group of his peers because he loves, respects, and deeply misses the woman who raised him is a true gentleman in my book.
well said
People complaining that Leo got robbed act like Jamie Foxx gave a crappy performance. Jamie Foxx BECAME Ray Charles. He earned that Oscar! Leo was not robbed.
+Denise Noles Totally agree. Leo is an outstanding actor but even that Ray Charles and portraying him right is another level. Sorta like Eddie Redmayne when he played Stephen Hawking.
Vanitas FiveNine I saw the The Theory of Everything recently and I was like "WOW." He went there full force. I can imagine how physicaly exhausting it must be to play a character like that.
+Denise Noles Cheadle in hotel rwanda was BANANAS so leo was way down the list
Leo is the most overrated human ever walked the earth
Yeah...Nobody deserved that Oscar more than Jamie. It's not really much of a discussion.
I was in a Starbucks in Hollywood and ran into Jamie Foxx. We ordered our coffees and chatted a few minutes, and literally every thing he said was effortlessly funny and clever, but also wise. When he left I thought; that's one of the most talented people in the world. Then Ray came out and blew everyone away.
Nothing you said surprises me, and I am only a little envious; 'glad you had the chance meeting.
That's a really nice story about your run-in with Jamie Foxx. But I wonder what you would have thought of him if you ran into him on his bad day.
@@matshadi1999 I'm sure he has days where he orders his coffee and keeps to himself. But I still would have said "Love your work sir, Thank you." Any semi normal person would still appreciate that, regardless if they're an Oscar winner or not. If they can't handle someone saying "I respect your work" then they have serious issues.
I've met many celebrities over the years and never had a bad experience other than some ESPN hosts. Jerry Springer is super cool, and Marcus Allen too.
This man is a gift to the world....what he can't do!
bro you have been blessed
There is no denying that Jamie Foxx deserved this Award, because his performance as Ray Charles is one of the greatest acting performances in the history of Film.
Even as someone who was rooting for Di Cabrios best performance In my opinion, I still think Jamie deserved it!
Now Jamie Foxx can add William E. Gary portrayal in The Burial movie as another fantastic performance as well.
I will never forget that Chris Rock joke about his performance in Ray. He said Jamie Foxx was so good in Ray that they had to go and unplug the real Ray Charles.😅😅
Agreed! Right up there with Denzel as Malcolm X and Marlon Brando as Don Corleone. A truly iconic time in Hollywood that we might never see again.
Jay-Z held back no joy when he heard Jamie Foxx won it, much love!
Neither did Clint, Don or Leo. Talk about being classy.

"🎶Tell me what'd I say?🎶"
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.
Hey. Could you tell us the title of this documentary film? Thanks! :)
One of the best comments ever on RUclips. Awesome.
You made me cry!! this guy is amazing
The documentaries about famous people are almost always fake. The press is making up stories about celebs life so people can feel sympathy about them. You believe in everything you see. You are just another blind sheep.
Nevertheless a source of inspiration for millions, whatever the source may be (isn't that what most movies are like?)...way to go for ruining that...
Kate Winslet always looks so genuinely happy for others. It's Wonderful!
Of course she wanted Leo to win.
@@iris089 she looked happy after Jamie won
@@shravanshetty19 but in her heart she wished for Leo to win.
Well she is an world class actress
Except for when she lost to Helen Hunt 😳
You can sense no jealousy nor insecurities in other nominees, just happiness. Incredible!!!!
KInda. I also watched for each of them, twice. I could hint a pinch of 'Oh, boy...it's the other black dude' on Don Cheadle's face (definitely another real talented gentleman) but nothing alarming, lol. It was just fair. Ray was just the thing.
@@user-ti5dm5gs8m aviator was not overrated or boring wtf
@@user-ti5dm5gs8m Clint was a good choice too. Clint and Don are both amazing but it was definitely Jamie's to win that night.
Leo didn’t stand. Maybe not hate but not respect/classy if ya ask me.
@@NUPE-1911 He shook Jamie’s hand
It would’ve been a crime if Fox hadn’t won the Oscar for Ray. He was unreal and he’ll do it again in Mike Tyson’s life story.
@Sandip Gurung People have been saying the biopic is coming. It's been in development hell. It might never see the light of day or get made with a different actor.
If he portrayed Ray Charles like he did, then Iron Mike will be a piece of cake for him
He definitely did it playing around on in living color as a skit.
naa the crime was that Leonardo dicaprio didnt win it, that is his best performance ever way better than the one he won the oscar for..
@@mrcv1999 But Jamie was Ray to a tee. Sorry but they had it right in 2005. I thought I was watching Ray Charles not Jamie Foxx. Lol.
Jamie Foxx didn't played Ray Charles in that film. He WAS Ray Charles in that film.
Really well deserved Oscar for his phenomenal performance
He WAS! I completely forgot "Jamie Foxx" while watching that movie.
Facts
Yea
@@matshadi1999 THAT'S FACT!
Was just about to comment this. Absolutely💯
What a powerful speech. Especially towards the end.
"I can't wait to go to sleep tonight, because we've got a lot to talk about."
Beautiful and poetic.
Jackson Shrout
That's was the best part of the speech. Right on Shrout
He portrayed Ray Charles so incredibly well. He did this role justice, and made the man he played so proud. He more than deserved this win. RIP Ray Charles. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💜🎵🎵
No reason why he shouldnt have won. The dude sounds exactly like ray charles. Golddiggers was Jamie Foxx voice not Ray Charles.
He warned us that it would be the hardest part and I STILL CRIED!! That was a good speech. Jamie has lived a blessed life. From back in the day comedy, to his hilarious TV show, to becoming a serious movie star, he has really done well.
I know, ryt!
TO HIS SINGING ALSO. His hardest path he’s said. He never saw himself as a singer but a man named Kanye West took a chance on him. Love Jamie Bless his soul he’s a good man
@@ibrahimnasser7585 itsbeen so many years ago and that still makes me tear up really a great movie and a great speech
I cried too.
This is the best Oscar speech I’ve ever seen.
Fuzzy Puppet no it’s not remember joker
James GaDoza he said "he's seen" gosh!
Well then he must be blind
James GaDoza No one likes people like you
Made me tear up at the end. Such vulnerability in that speech. Beautiful man.
Look at how happy jay z was lol he looked like a proud father
Rochell Barbara yeeesssss
Like a proud dad watching his only son that made it lol
That's cunts a sell out
@@cmepeokaccema9449 lol was just gonna say that and saw you beat me to it!!
Facts!
This man speaks so well even in front of a crowd. Every speech of oscar that I've watched was boring and cringe but this one is really good.
You haven't watched Matthew's speech.
Well then you didnt see leonardos speech, joaquin phoenix, matthew mc conoughheys , rami malek or denzel washington ...
@@younggunna4089 i saw leonard's and it is a really great speech, unfortunately I saw it later so my commend didn't aged well.
Denzel Washington's, Sidney Poitier, Monique's and Joe Pesci's were also pretty great.
@@younggunna4089 I understand what you mean, I like all those guys too but it's just his opinion for heaven's sake lol.
Even now in 2020, I still get emotional from that speech
crying in 2023 December 16th
Anyone who watched the movie understands that Leo never stood a chance against Jamie. His performance was truly iconic.
jamie killed it
Nico di Angelo 100%. But over his career, he should have won at least one. But not this year.
Nico di Angelo not everyone thinks Jamie was that amazing in the movie.
I just have not seen leo really lost in a role,the only exception is gilbert grape.Leo should take in more risky and fun roles not these oscar win roles.Jamie well desereved.
nivledamh Jordan Belfort is an Oscar role?
Jamie Foxx' acting in Ray was nothing short of extraordinarily legendary. At moments, I completely forgot I was watching a movie, and felt like I was a fly in the wall watching the real Charles.
I still say to this day. Foxx is the most talented person in Hollywood. A world class comedian, a world class singer AND a world class actor? Get the fuck outta here
Not to mention world class musician (pianist) and impressionist
We need more multi-talented performers like him in Hollywood.
I know exactly what you mean!
Love your comment!❤
I felt exactly the same way when I watched the movie! Well said!
The simple fact that Jamie Foxx came into the acting world playing "LaWanda" on in Living Color to all the way to this. This man is the definition of a master of all crafts.
He is excellent at what he does. Truly talented. Everyone loves Ray but I always loved Django Unchained.
Sellout since the start. U dont just “ End” up here
This still remains as one of the most well deserved Oscar wins ever.
Now THAT'S a speech!
You AIN'T kidding!
NO I'm not!
Eye2EyeIIIV
How is Django trash?!
I love this thread lmfao
This is one of the best Oscar speeches I've ever watched.
Renee Joy you on point about that
Foxx keeps inspiring people, and for good reason
Robin Williams at 1:35 made me tear up 😢 May he Rest In Peace
The genuine humility that just shines through when Jamie speaks, especially about his grandmother, is why this is one of my all time favorite Oscar speeches. He never forgot his roots and where he came from, I love people like that because I came from nothing myself, grew up dirt poor on food stamps and welfare, raised in a trailer park by a single mom and now I have a successful career doing a job that I love. I never forgot my own roots, that I came from the trailer park yet my mom raised me and my brother to carry ourselves with integrity wherever we go so that the world will see that not all trailer park people are trashy and crass. Thank you Mr. Foxx for respecting your grandmother and her lesssons by how you carry yourself. ❤
I really love it when black ppl win awards, and the cameras proceed to show other black ppl super happy for them and basking in the glory and moment.
all about blacks isn't it...
+Anal Devastator It's all about love and me enjoying to see happiness.
right then they show the white ppl fake smiling black ppl be hype for they ppl
+Jakieya Sutton #FACT
Im racist? How? Never been racist day in my life its just truth facts cuz they legit was fake smiling ok keyboard warrior hve a blessed day
Jamie Foxx WAS Ray Charles for two hours on that screen. Brave, fearless performance. Just as fine in Django Unchained and Collateral.
He was incredibly good in Django Unchained, too!
and He got the Oscar for it! the man from austria
He was so funny in Collateral. He was like a child. Hahahaha. He's a comedian, actor and musician. Triple threat.
I note that he brought his daughter as his "date" for the evening. What a thrill for that young lady. And what a wonderfully family-oriented thing to do.
The nominees 😱 This year was a legendary one
I'm a huge Di Caprio fan and I hope he gets it this year (2016) but Jamie Foxx definitely earned this.
+Max Walker That list is awful mate. Zac Efron? Joe Manganiello? LMFAO WTF
+Max Walker Stephen Amell or Jesse Metcalfe..... ahaha. funny.
+Centrist Philosopher He got it. Patience pays off.
+Centrist Philosopher Daniel Day-Lewis 15th place between chris evans and Chris Hemsworth rolflmaowtfomfgrampagegtfo
+Max Walker Dwayne Johnson hahahahhahahhhhahahhhah
The most moving and "real" acceptance speech I have ever heard. And with advice "head up, shoulders back...act like ya been somewhere"
The best!
This was so predictable. He was the BEST that year. ICONIC transformation into Ray Charles.
They should ALWAYS show clips of the performances!!!
I love the reaction of people. The love for his Grandma and especially His daughter. I mean the tear in his eyes. He remembers her completely.
I don't think anyone deserved an oscar more than Jamie Foxx in Ray. Holy cow he WAS Ray. He was truly amazing and miles better than anyone else in the category.
I just see Oprah, I see Halle... I just wanna say your names
😂😂😂😂😂
Destined Queen Oprah was jumping up and down as if she won the Oscar.
Oprah had a planned intervention for Jamie when his life was getting out of control, it was Sidney Poitier's birthday, he changed his life around after that, he touched on it briefly here.
They stood out in a sea of whiteness 😂🤣
Halle is fineeeee damn 🥰
When the other nominees give you a real applaus from their heart you finally really made it.
That speech had me balling. Jamie should have won and the Academy got it right that year because Jamie Foxx disappeared into Ray Charles to the point were I would be looking at the movie and forgot for a moment that it was Jamie Foxx! The right person won that year.
Totally agree with you.
Same here. I was halfway into the movie when i remembered that this is in fact an actor and not the real ray charles. Never happened to me before.
Pretty accurate
+sanggurl16 he also did the music himself
Oh, come on, seriously. I'm Leo's fan and he wasn't robbed. Jamie Foxx deserved this Oscar. He really was in his character.
I think they both were, but you can only award one.
So was Leo, Leo destroyed that role to the very last detail. But I guess only person can win
@@nonfinale685 pls stfu honestly, people like you irritate me. Youre just as uninformed as anyone can be. Ugh
@@nonfinale685 that's your business. Anyone can direct something. Just pick up a camera and film something literally. We're taling about GOOD directors here. Ones that matter so your opinion is worth a grain of rice at this point
@@nonfinale685 youre really a hag. Seriously calling someone autistic as an insult just shows how low your cognitive ability is. You've just made yourself out to be even more foolish than I originally thought you were. And let me just say, if that comment was your attempt at sounding unbothered, you failed rather woefully. And you definitely seem like someone to know how to suck deek judging by the fact that you probably do that everyday to your superiors in whatever failing field you are to stay relevant. Wasteman. This is why you can never go far in your career, you sound as talented as a log of wood I don't see why someone as brainless as you would recognise epic talent like leo dicaprio, troll
This year was historic since all five actors were nominated for playing real people.
This very award solidified him as a legend.
Yes facts
If that part about his grandmother didn't make you cry you are heartless
Or not emotional
Rochell Barbara i believe what he said about his grandma but if you think he didn't rehearsed that last part you a fool
Kanye West?
jose Gonzalez Believe it or not some people are actually that creative to think on the spot so don't be soo quick to dismiss it. he's one of the greatest and underrated comedians and artist in Hollywood. I'm sure he can come up with a great on the spot acceptance speech
I didn't cry, deal with it bitch
"Ray" was brilliant. There's some serious talent in Jamie Foxx.
One of the best and most memorable speeches in Oscar history. Jamie was genuine, heartfelt and very touching.
RIP Ray Charles (September 23, 1930 - June 10, 2004), aged 73
You will always be remembered as a legend.
This is one of the most beautiful Oscar speeches. It's so clear how much this meant to him and he communicated that so gracefully. What a legend.
Still can't believe people miss that dead on Sidney Poitier impersonation at 3:30...Jamie nailed that. And of course, "I just see Oprah, I just see Halle, I just wanna say your names".
Manu you are probably the only other person that spotted Oprah jumping up and down in that quick scene!!!!! I saw that the night he won!!!! Spike Lee and his wife showed up as well.
Manu loved his impersonation of Sidney and yes he nailed on the spot as you said!!!!!
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot 😄😄😄
Jamie Foxx in Ray is still one of the greatest performances I have ever seen.
An Oscar well deserved, couldnt have seen anyone else playing Ray. You know that you are the best when you out shine the ones that was nominated with you.
That was BY FAR the most beautiful Oscar speech ever.
Look at that smile from Jay Z. That's luv man
Yes loved that! "Murder to excellence" kept playing in my mind lol
I think that is one of, if not the most underrated sofefull hiphop songs of the past 10 years...
Nnaemeka Opara Fuck Jay Z
Nnaemeka Opara
I love your profile pic man !!
You even got 4:44 likes
I cried when he talked about his grandmother.. didn't see that coming
Morgan Freeman and Jaime Foxx won the same year! What an incredible year for the Oscars
One of the BEST acceptance speechs i have ever heard. He IS so wonderful.
Honestly, his performance in Ray is the greatest biopic performance ever. If anyone contests this, please comment what you think is better. This is obviously just my opinion
I REALLY like how Val Kilmer played and looked like Jim Morrison in The Doors, but I think Jamie was Ray. He got it down in that movie, you're seeing Ray in that movie, it's a mesmerizing performance!
Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose was brilliant as well
Care to provide examples of what you think is better?
Well mine is
Daniel Day Lewis - My Left Foot
Jamie Foxx - Ray
Robert De Niro - Raging Bull
Helen Mirren - The Queen
George C. Scott - Patton
These lists are opinions btw the way. Not Facts. So the whole "learn film and acting moron" is beyond unnecessary. Almost mistook you for a troll
+Paul Kamin Really not a movie guy so this is a question: Denzel Washington as Malcolm X wasn't top 5 worthy?
From “In Living Color” to the Academy Awards. Wow
She talks to me in my dreams!! 😭 I totally relate. Jamie is one of the most talented people in the business. Well deserved 👏
To see a talented man like Jamie Foxx who can sing, dance, act, tell one hell of a joke, and impersonate just about ANYBODY win this was a great achievement.
It was unbelievable how incredibly well Jsmie Foxx played Ray Charles. He had to have his eyes closed the whole time to stay in character and he trained so hard to look and sound like Ray and he pulled it off outstandingly. When I listened to both of them singing "Georgia on my mind" back to back, I was shocked to find seemingly no difference between their voices. Even his expressions and body movements were spot on. Congratulations Jaime, your performance will carry on Ray Charles' memory for generations! :)
Oh, really? That's interesting because one of the special features on the dvd showed Ray Charles performing "Georgia" at a concert and then Jamie Fox performing it in the movie and I thought they were comparing the similarity in their voices. Guess I was wrong haha! He still did an amazing job on the acting though. :)
Monkeystaxx Route 66, Straighten Up and Fly Right,(were sung by Jamie Foxx) and I Got a Woman, Mary Ann, and Hit the Road Jack were also sung by Jamie but with the help of Ray's original tracks!! And yes, you are right, he gave one hell of a performance!!!
Jamie Foxx didn't actually do the singing...
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.
1:08 Jay-z was so happy to see his homie win that oscar !!!!
he dedicate his oscar to his grandma, that was beautiful...
Anyone who said Jamie didn't deserve this is Crazy!!!! He embodied Ray Charles in the purest way it was almost scary
This is a proud moment. Jamie Foxx did such a wonderful job. The film is what it is due to this performance. I wish Mr. Charles could have seen it.
That was the greatest Oscar speech I’ve ever heard. I wish I heard it sooner. Love this dude
Do they give oscars for best oscar winning speeches? Cuz damn that minute speech was filled with emotions.
This is one of the most moving Oscar speeches ever. He TOTALLY deserved this award, too. He was brilliant as Ray Charles.
Jamie and Halle are two of my favorite speeches. So touching and powerful.
That's the type of emotion you can't fake.
His daughter's excitement ^_^
when you see the last scene from "Ray" you understand why he won an oscar
What was the last scene?
I've forgotten; I haven't seen Ray in a long time
Mhamed Benouissa I dont think there was one scene above the other that defined Jamie's role as Ray he just nailed it the entire movie.
+mavimus 8 the last scene was when Ray was awarded the key to Georgia after he was banned from performing there after he refused to play for a segregated audience during the Civil Rights Movement! I think his wife says "If only your mother was here." and Ray says "She's here. She ain't ever left" I swear that parts gets me every time
Jamie lived His part as Ray - great!
yes. the ENTIRE movie. brilliant!!
On grandmothers:
'She was my first acting teacher, she taught me act like you got sense'
Thanks Jamie for making your moment her moment.
Love your comment!😊❤
Beautiful comment. Thank you.
This is quite possibly the most touching Oscar acceptance speech ever
Whoa...totally forgot Gisele was with DiCaprio.
+crandolph3319 i thought the same thing ;0
Tom Brady, knocked up Bridget Monahahn. Then dated Giselle.
Lol thats what I was thinking
Pretty sure he was the one who got away. The love of her life.
crandolph3319 i really thought back then that they were gonna get married. Her and Bar Rafaeli are probably the two women he stayed with longest and who fit his way of life like caring for the environment and things like that. Him and gisele were one of my fave celeb couples in middle school. You could tell they were really in love.
Best Oscar acceptance speech EVER! He didn’t need to shout or wild out. Just spoke from the heart!
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.
1:36 Robin’s there for a moment. Top bloke
To be honest,he deserves an other oscar on that speech too
Don Cheadle deserves some kind of premio for Hotel Rwanda, incredible performance
The guy from iron man ?
Maul yes
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)
@@maul8384 He’s not just that guy from Iron man dude.
It was a though year. All nominees were A listers.
3:02 Jamie's daughter is a tv show host now
I watched Ray and it was actually Ray who was in that movie, Jamie Foxx essentially became him the entire film both in mind and spirit
"Act like you have been somewhere."
that speech gets me everytime.
Oh man, that brief shot (1:34) of Robin Williams in the crowd made my heart tighten. Miss the guy
same 🥲
He's one of the most underrated Best Actors ever ! I strongly think that he should be given more parts in a lot of big movies
1:17 Eastwood's like "goddamn, a nigga again?"
This Jamie Foxx Academy Award Win moved me beyond words. Before my mother took her five children out in public she always said "Act like you got some sense"! Tears are rolling down my face as I share with all of you. And Jamie, my my my, my, my! Needless to say you nailed this role.You've done both the acting community and the African American community proud.May God continue to bless you and yours.
🥺Looking at the people in that audience. My times have changed
Of all of the Oscar speeches ever given, this one was the most profound.
What a deep man.
Thank you Grandma.
This acceptance speech made me cry.
That final line gives me goosebumps every time I listen to this speech.
The performance of Jamie Fox was better than anything I've seen in portraying Ray Charles.
Jamie foxx is insanely talented. The fact that he beat one of the top actors i also adore, I respect him. He truly deserved this
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
This speech is everything. Well deserved Mr. Foxx !
+Ayysia Dansby Well said. His performance in Ray is how I became a fan of him even I've not seen every movie he's ever done since his win.
One of the most effortlessly talented people in Hollywood. A real treasure.
Why the f**k did I just get emotional right now 😭
