Jul 2 2007Jamie Foxx Wants Another Oscar
Two Zimas, please.
Jamie Foxx is set to star in Blood on the Leaves, a movie that sounds just like something those shrivs at the Academy would eat up, like so many prunes and cans of Ensure.
Based on Jeffrey Stetson's 2004 novel, the story centers on a district attorney who grapples with feelings of revenge as he prosecutes a black history professor on trial for the murders of white men accused of crimes against blacks during the Civil Rights movement.
The only way this could be more Oscar-pandering is if his character were also mildly retarded and persecuted by nazis. I'm often persecuted by Walgreen's employees. "Pay for that Hot Pocket!" they're always yelling. Fascists.

The people that want the issue of race to go away and for everybody to be equal make movies like this that only keep it around. I'm surrounded by morons.
