Jennifer Hudson – “It was like a dream. One, I had never seen the Oscars. I had never acted before. Jamie Foxx was the first person who was like, ‘I see it coming. You’re going to win an Oscar for that.’ Even out of his mouth, I was like — ‘Really?’ Most people anticipated it. But if you’re nominated for an Oscar, you’re not supposed to talk about it; you’re not supposed to jinx it.”
Forest Whitaker – “(My Oscar) is in my home on the stairs, so my family can see it. It was obviously overwhelming. It’s like an electric jolt to be acknowledged like that by your peers.”
