    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.

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. ❤

    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! :)

    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.
