Forest Whitaker gave an incredibly moving Oscar speech that brought most of the Kodak theatre and us at home to tears. The humble actor mentioned that he was younger says he never thought he would be a movie star as the only way he was able to watch the movies was from the back seat of his family’s car at a drive in. A product of the South Central Los Angeles with dreams of Hollywood, Whitaker took home the award for best actor for The Last King of Scotland. Picture by Fernando Allende
