Jamie Foxx in Ray — The full range of Foxx’s talents were on full display when he took on the lead role of Ray Charles Robinson, the brilliant blind musician who revolutionized R&B and pop music. So thorough was Foxx’s portrayal of Ray Charles that many forgot that it was Foxx instead of the late legend in the film. Sadly, Charles passed away months before the movie’s premiere and didn’t see the movie become a critical and box office success and earned Foxx an Academy Award.
