Yesterday, I saw a lot of people calling for Jamie Foxx’s Oscar to be revoked following the announcement that he and Martin Lawrence are confirmed for “Sheneneh and Wanda,” a comedy in which the duo will play female bank robbers. Both roles are based on earlier cross-dressed characters from the actors’ TV days (Lawrence’s Sheneneh is from “Martin” and Foxx’s Wanda is from “In Living Color”). Foxx, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004 for “Ray” (he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor that same year for “Collateral), returning to this drag shtick seems like a huge step backward to a lot of people.
