8. The Oscars Hurt His Feelings
Last year, Will Smith joined several minority actors and industry professionals in boycotting the Academy Awards, after the nominations proved to be . . . let’s call them monotone. He swore up and down that his boycott had nothing to do with his being overlooked for his performance in Concussion. And he probably believes that’s true. But one can hardly overlook the fact that one of the first people to talk about boycotting the Oscars was Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. Does that make her message less poignant? Absolutely not. But it is a pretty big coincidence, one that wasn’t lost on Oscar winner Jamie Foxx. Point being: let’s give Smith a much deserved win so he can stop walking around with a chip on his shoulder.
