Foxx: I will see you in Poughkeepsie…

If only Halle Berry had standup comedy to fall back on. This quote is from Jamie Foxx, backstage after winning his best actor Oscar:

Best-actor winner Jamie Foxx has his own solution for maintaining quality control in his future career, especially after Sidney Poitier urged him to take “responsibility for your art.” Foxx said backstage that, “I can cheat. I’m a standup comedian. So that means that, if we do not have the movie that we think is going to be a responsible movie, I will go on the road. And I will see you in somewhere in Poughkeepsie, Detroit, whatever.”

We supppose this means that Foxx won’t be popping up in the equivalent of Catwoman.
