He was nominated previously for five times and this is his sixth prize. Actress Helen Mirren and the owner of two Oscar prizes Tom Henks presented the prize to the author of the scenario William Monehen. The best films of the year were- The Queen, â€œLetters from Iwo Jimaâ€?, â€œLittle miss Sunshineâ€? and â€œBabelâ€?. Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker won top acting honors for their portrayals of very different leaders. Whitaker won for his role as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in "The Last King of Scotland" and Mirren as Elizabeth II in "The Queen", beating fellow Britishs Kate Winslet and Dame Judi Dench, as well as Meryl Streep and Penelope Cruz. Jennifer Hudson won the supporting-actress Academy Award on Sunday for "Dreamgirls," though her co-star and fellow front-runner Eddie Murphy lost the supporting-actor prize to Alan Arkin of "Little Miss Sunshine."
