(2005 Academy Awards acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Ray (2004/I)) I guess we got to do it again. "Oh, ah!" Yeah, you`re ready. That`s for Ray Charles. Give it up for Ray Charles and his beautiful legacy. And thank you, Ray Charles, for living. I got so many people to thank tonight. First I want to start it out with Taylor Hackford. Taylor, you took a chance, man. I mean that love for Ray Charles was deep, down in the earth. It`s cracked open. And it`s spilling. And everybody`s drowning in this love. I thank you for taking a chance on this film. And thank you for waiting 15 years to get me to do it. I want to thank you. I want to thank Crusader. I want to thank my agents. I want to thank Rick Kurtzman. I want to thank Kim Hodges. I want to thank `Steve Smooke`. I want to thank my managers, Jaime King (Jaime Rucker King) and Marcus King. Let`s live this African-American dream. It`s beautiful. I`m glad I`m with you. I ain`t never leaving you. I`m glad I`m with you. I got a chance to meet a whole lot of people, experiencing this.

And, thank you, Sidney. This is probably going to be the toughest part of this speech. My daughter shares my grandmother`s name, "Marie." My grandmother`s name is Estelle Marie Talley. She`s not here tonight. And this is going to be the toughest part. But she was my first acting teacher. She told me to stand up straight. Put your shoulders back. Act like you got some sense. We would go places. And I would wild out. And she would say, "Act like you`ve been somewhere." And then when I would act the fool, she would beat me. She would whup me. And she could get an Oscar for the way she whupped me because she was great at it. And after she whipped me, she would talk to me and tell me why she whipped me. She said I want you to be a southern gentleman. She still talks to me now. Only now, she talks to me, in my dreams. And I can`t wait to go to sleep tonight because we got a lot to talk about. I love you.

We finished up one really hot day, went over to the Rosie Stag, a little on-site period tavern, clapped our swords on the table, ordered up a pitcher of ale, whipped out our period pipes and tobacco, and just sat there relaxing for the next hour waiting for the next joust.

Our defense played awfully well. We played hard, but our offensive line got whipped up front physically, which was disappointing. Our defense was the key.
