Answer: Will Smith
Will Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor at the 94th Academy Awards. In his speech, he said, ” I’m gonna apologise to the Academy. I’m gonna apologise to my fellow nominees..art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things”.
Will Smith won the prize for his role as Richard Williams. He played the role of Venus and Serena Williams father, King Richard. The film was directed by Reiinaldo Marcus Green and stars Smith in the title role, alongside Aunjanue Ellis as his wife Brandy, Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton as Venus and Serena and Jon Bernthal as tennis coach Rick Macci.
Smith has also won numerous awards for his role in the movie including Best Actor at the BAFTA and Critics Choice awards and Best Actor at the Golden Globes. At the Oscars, Smith has been successful at the third attempt, having been nominated twice before for Best Actor for Ali in 2002 and The Pursuit of Happyness in 2007.
At the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony, the actor faced public backlash for slapping and shouting at Oscar presenter Chris Rock after Rock made a joke referencing Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
The actor has also won four Grammy Awards. One for Best Rap Performance, one for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, and two for Best Rap Solo Performance
