Jamie Foxx says that the part of the inspiration for the self-explanatory MTV competition show he's producing, From Gs to Gents was the guidance Oprah Winfrey gave him during his whirlwind award-winning streak after his performance in Ray. "Oprah Winfrey said, `Before they give the Oscar out, there's a certain way you have to campaign and carry yourself.' Being a comedian, (I was) sort of looking at everything as like, 'Oh, it's a joke,' and she said, 'No, you really need to take it seriously,' and she took me and introduced me to Sidney Poitier and all these other different actors. I had to change." Temporarily, of course. [SP]
