Fox has the Oscar locked up for Ray. It was more an impersonation but a brilliant one. It will almost make up for Denzel Washington winning one of the least deserving OScars of all time for 'Training Day'. I wish people wouldn't pay so much attention to the Golden Globes. They are given out by sycophantic foreign journalists. They have no aesthetic credibility whatsoever.

RE: "JAMIE FOXX -COLLATERAL"

Foxx was excellent in Collateral as a sympathetic everyman driven to the edge by Tom Cruise's hitman, I'll give you that. But I still don't understand how ANYBODY (Golden Globes included), using any kind of twisted logic, can possibly view his performance as anything but the leading role in the film. The picture is largely seen through his eyes, his pov, and Foxx has the most screen time and the most dialogue in Collateral.

I wonder if this sly ploy to get Foxx a double-nomination (with, of course, a leading nomination for Ray) will work at the Oscars as well, as it did when Ethan Hawke was nominated a few years back for playing the LEAD in Training Day.
