Oscar® Sundays: Ray

Description
In an act of remarkable conjuring, Jamie Foxx gives the performance of a lifetime as the foundational, widely influential musician Ray Charles, the revered R&B pianist, and singer who lost his sight at the age of 7. This sweeping biopic, which was independently financed, had the support and endorsement of Charles, who was able to review a first cut of the picture before he passed in June 2004, just four months before the film was released. Foxx’s nominations for Best Actor in Ray (which he won) and Best Supporting Actor for Collateral made him the first Black actor to receive two acting nods in the same year.

The Acadmy Museum presents the Film Series Beware the Elements! Natural Disasters on Film

Following a summer of record-breaking heatwaves, extreme wildfires, historic floods, and a truly unprecedented “hurriquake,” we find the perilous realities of climate change increasingly impacting our daily lives. This screening series considers natural disasters through our planet’s primary elements—earth, wind, water, and fire—and seeks to highlight key moments in the history of the disaster film genre as a source of entertainment and portrayal of science, and as a tool to raise our collective consciousness about science-based solutions to the mounting global climate crisis. Click the here to see the featured films selected for this series. The film series runs between January 4th to January 28, 2024.
