HOW DID YOU CELEBRATE GETTING NOMINATED? I went out with Ellen DeGeneres.
YOU'RE FRIENDS? Yes. That morning I crashed her show. Then she was giving a party for Portia [de Rossi], her significant other, and they invited me to come over to the Roosevelt [Hotel]. Prince was there. Queen Latifah was there. It was really, really such a beautiful group of people. We danced, and we hugged. It was just beautiful.
WHAT'S THE MOST SATISFYING THING ABOUT YOUR OSCAR EXPERIENCE SO FAR? Just being able to look in the mirror and look into that little boy's eyes--the little 6-year-old that said he was going to be an actor--and to be able to say, "You did it, man. You did it."
