Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for Best Actress. But clearly it was Forest Whitaker who took home the top honors for Best Actor in before and after weight loss photos at the 2010 Academy Awards. This was the big piece of weight loss news unveiled by Oscar.

Forest Whitaker, who in2007 was the Oscar-winning Best Actor for his role in “Last King of Scotland,” shocked the world when he took to the stage last night to pay tribute to nominee Sandra Bullock. He did speak quite eloquently about her gifts as a woman and an actress. But really his words at first were overshadowed by the new weight loss images of his slimmed down physique.

Adding to the shock value of Forest Whitaker’s weight loss success at the 2010 Academy Awards was the fact that the actor was wearing a large, thick pair of black eyeglasses. The look made his face appear even smaller and thinner.

This month, you’ll have the opportunity to see the very talented Forest Whitaker perform smaller than ever on the big screen in the release of the new film, Repo Men. Forest co-stars with Jude Law in the story about a futuristic society in which people can extend their lives by purchasing mechanical organizations from a dominant corporation known as The Union. However, if people fall behind on the payments, their life-saving organs are faced with getting repossessed by the characters played by Jude Law and Forest Whitaker.

How about that storyline? And we thought today’s banks and mortgage companies were pretty bad, didn’t we?
