[MrScorpio]

It made me cry.

1. I watched it for the first time tonight, too. It was great. Jamie Foxx

deserved that Oscar!

[MrScorpio]

4. Yes, he did

It was a beautiful story and performance

[MalibuChloe]

2. Fascinating man

I love how they showed what a flawed person he was...as well as being a genius.

[Placebo]

3. Eh, I didn't care for it. and Foxx didn't deserve that damn Oscar.

*ducks*

6. Everyone has his/her own opinion. It's cool, Placebo.

[MrScorpio]

7. No spanks on this thread

You're gonna have to get your kicks some place else

9. ...or as my mom used to say, "No fighting and no biting."

[MalibuChloe]

10. you're right, actually

it should have gone to Don Cheadle for Hotel Rwanda, but the Oscars are all about hype. Pttth.

[Placebo]

11. Yup...

or even Johnny Depp for 'Finding Neverland'

13. I'm with ya.

Saw it in the theater. Seemed like there was a lot of unnecessary directorial masturbation going on. Read the liner notes to the "Ray" soundtrack, and it was pretty much confirmed.

Glad the ticket was free.

16. I thought he did great work..

and the film exceded my expectations.

Tom Cruise outacted Foxx by a mile in Collateral, though. I'm not sure why he got a nomination for that film.

But I gotta love Foxx. I'm a Texas girl and he's from Terrell.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Awesome! Me, too!

..and to think I was watching it while the Big Daddy MrScorpio, the man I ain't lookin' to be my daddy figure, was watchin' it :)

12. As a 40 something with non-musically inclined parents...

it really made me see what a great man he was.
But I saw it when it first came out.

[Floogeldy]

14. Welcome to 2004!

But seriously, ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. I bought the DVD....we watched it on the night the Oscars were on....

IMHO, it deserved all the Oscars it got....

Beautifully made, outstanding soundtrack, (naturally) great story!

I probably did cry at the end...I normally do, and it doesn't take much...but this was a profoundly moving movie...

I did also love "Hotel Rwanda" but for me, "Ray" was the superior film...
