During his long and successful career, Jamie received many nominations for many different awards, both for his acting and for his music skills. In the musical field he won the “Favorite R&B/Soul Male Artist” for the American Music Awards in 2006, and the BET Awards in 2009 for the “Best Collaboration” (“Blame It”) with T-Pain. Jamie won also 2 Grammy Awards, one in 2006 for the “Best Rap Solo Performance (“Gold Digger”) with Kanye West, and one in 2010 for the “Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group (“Blame It”) with T-Pain. He added to his collection of awards also the Image Awards in 2006 and 2009 as the “Outstanding Male Artist”, and also three Soul Train Awards: one in 2006 for the “Best Music Video” (“Gold Digger”) with Kanye West, one in 2007 for the “Best R&B/Soul Album, Male” with “Unpredictable”, and one in 2009 for the “Record of the Year” (“Blame It”). Jamie already received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.
For his acting roles Jamie won countless awards, the most important of which are the Academy Awards in 2004 as the “Best Actor” for the movie “Ray”, the BAFTA Awards in 2005 for the “Best Performance” always in “Ray”, a Golden Globe in 2005 for the “Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy” always for his role in “Ray”, and the MTV Movie Award “Generation Award” in 2013, but he also won 3 Image Awards, and 4 Black Reel Awards.
Jamie is not married, but he has two daughters: Corinne, that was born in 1994, and Annalise, born in 2009. Recently, Jamie has been rumored about having a relationship with the actress Katie Holmes (they’re been seen together at the last Pre-Grammy Awards Gala, and they looked like a happy couple).
Some curiosities regarding Jamie are that he’s been the first African-American to be nominated for two Academy Awards in the same year, that he is only one of very few actors that have won the quadruple awards crown during motion picture award season: Jamie in fact won the Golden Globe Award, the SAG Award, the BAFTA Award, and the Academy Award all in 2005/2006.
And, regarding his professional name, Jamie decided to adopt it when, as a stand-up comedian, he picked the last name “Foxx” after one of his favorite comics, Redd Foxx, and he changed his first name to Jamie because it could be a girl name as well and, since in comedy clubs female comics often perform before the male ones, the club managers would have read his name on the list, and often would have moved him up on the list of the performers.
