Oscar doesn't help Foxx pick up women

Winning an Oscar hasn't helped Ray star Jamie Foxx get dates in Los Angeles.

The single star admits his status as a Best Actor Academy Award-winner helps when he's out clubbing in other cities, but when he is in Los Angeles, women are particularly challenging to approach.

Foxx explains: "It's hard with girls in LA because the girls in LA always put (the word) 'little' in front of everything you do: 'I saw you had your little Oscar and your little movie. Why don't you get a little further from me.'"

The actor describes his current dating status as, "freelance" but all that would change if close friend Oprah Winfrey ever broke up with long-term boyfriend Stedman Graham.

When asked if he would make a move on Winfrey if the couple split he replies enthusiastically, "I sure would!"

Foxx says he wouldn't have a problem committing if the right woman came along: "With that special person, at that special moment, who's willing to sign that special pre-nup."
