Poor Forest Whitaker. He was so nervous that much of his speech for best actor in a drama for "The Last King of Scotland" was nearly inarticulate until he got himself together at the end and said "thank you to my ancestors for letting me stand on your shoulders."

Here is part of what he said: "This is great. Wow. Wow. OK. Thank you. Thank you for this award, for the best actor award. Um. I'm really happy to be in the company of Leo and Will"
Then it got painful before he was able to gathe himself. Just a bit overcome by the moment. He's the Oscar front-runner so I hope he will handle that occasion better...for his sake!!!

Backstage he was so much more relaxed and impressive as he talked about his craft and about how he feels like his best acting is still ahead of him: "There's so many places to go, so many things to do. I just figured out, I think, how to do my work."
Congrats to Forest!
