Jamie's character: Among the most challenging roles last year, Foxx played Ray Charles, the visually-impaired blues and soul music genius.

As eccentric pop star Prince mentioned at the Golden Globes, Foxx wasn't just playing Ray Charles, he 'was Ray Charles.'

Foxx quote: "I hear like you see. Like that hummingbird outside the window, for instance."

[Kerry Washington: I can't hear her!]

"You have to listen."

[Washington closes her eyes, hears the hummingbird: Yes!]

"Yeah. Yes, you can... Uh-oh. Did you hear that?"

[Washington: What?]

"Her heart just skipped a beat."

Wow! He's the favourite for Best Actor at this year's Oscars, and not without good reason. A breathtaking performance.
