Jamie Foxx won the best-actor Academy Award on Sunday for the title role in "Ray," in which he delivered an uncanny emulation of beloved singer Ray Charles.

'Sit your asses down!' With those four words, comedian Chris Rock brought a new tone to the Oscars that network executives and sponsors of the Academy Awards hope will lure back a bigger, younger TV audience to Hollywood's biggest night.

Following Morgan Freeman's supporting-actor win for "Million Dollar Baby," Foxx's triumph made it only the second time in Oscar history that blacks won two of the four acting honors.
