It’s hard to believe it but Will Smith has won very few serious awards. At the same time his acting has always been good no matter what genre he’s playing in. His first nomination took place in 2002 when he was nominated in the Best Actor category for the biopic Ali, but he lost to Denzel Washington. 5 years later, he was nominated again for his leading part in The Pursuit of Happyness where he acted together with his son Jaden, but he didn’t win the Oscar then either.

Recently, the relationship between Will Smith and the Academy has worsened. In 2016, Will and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith accused the Academy Awards of racism and urged people of color to refrain from participating in the Oscar awards.
