He's been nominated just twice. Maybe the third time is the charm for the 'King Richard' actor.
Will Smith, a front-runner for a lead actor Oscar for his performance as ultimate tennis dad Richard Williams in “King Richard,” is considered overdue for an Academy Award even though he’s been nominated only twice without winning. Here’s why:While still TV’s “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” Smith took an unexpected role as a gay con man who pretends to be Sidney Poitier’s son, in “Six Degrees of Separation.
Smith’s Muhammad Ali in “Ali” was great but Denzel Washington was deemed the greatest at the 2002 Oscars. Forest Whitaker’s towering Idi Amin in “The Last King of Scotland” beat out Smith’s subtler work in “The Pursuit of Happyness” in 2007.Smith’s roles in “I Am Legend,” “Hancock” and “Concussion” showed awards-caliber range but failed to win Oscar attention.The film Academy doesn’t understand Smith the way the Recording Academy does: He’s won four Grammys from eight nominations.
