N SYNC - CHASEZ AND MYA BACKING FOXX

'N SYNC heart-throb JC CHASEZ and R+B beauty MYA have joined British singer SIR ELTON JOHN in backing JAMIE FOXX to win the Best Actor OSCAR for his role in RAY.

Foxx has already scooped a bevy of awards for his portrayal of late soul legend RAY CHARLES and now a multitude of celebrities are lending their support to the 27-year-old's ACADEMY AWARDS campaign.

Chasez says, "When you watched the movie, you didn't think he was Jamie Foxx. You thought he was Ray Charles."

Mya adds, "He did an incredible job in Ray. He's very deserving for his performance."

The star-studded ceremony will take place in Hollywood on Sunday (27FEB05).
