Wahoo! Forest finished out his litany of awards over recent months with a big bang: the Oscar® for Best Actor.
Onstage he spoke passionately about acting, in his characteristic soft voice.
Congratulations from Fox Searchlight Forest!
His competitors:
Leonardo DiCaprio, "Blood Diamond"
Ryan Gosling, "Half Nelson"
Peter O’Toole, “Venus”
Will Smith,“The Pursuit of Happyness”
I cannot believe that Forest Whitaker won the Golden Globe,
SAG (Screen Actors Guild), BAFTA and the Oscar for best actor in a leading role as a Ugandian dictator, Idi Amin in "The Last King of Scotland." His portrayal is really outstanding and superbly performed. I congratulate Mr.
Whitaker in his great performance as Idi Amin.
