Will Smith, Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, King Smith
“I am humbled and honored that the Williams family trusted me with their story and that my fellow actors have given our film such a warm reception,” Smith said in a statement. “Getting to walk in Richard‘s shoes and having the opportunity, not only to show the world how misunderstood he was, but also to illuminate the true plight of this family as they paved their own road to becoming two of the most iconic names in sports history.”
The actor continued, “AND to get to do it with this absolutely beautiful cast of actors – Aunjanue, Jon, Tony and the powerhouse performances by two of the best young actors I’ve ever seen on film, Saniyya and Demi! I’m beyond grateful for this experience, for this ensemble cast being recognized, and am mostly proud to play a small part in shining further light and love on the Williams family!”
