What movie did Will Smith win an Oscar for?

Twenty years after his first nomination, Will Smith finally won his first Oscar – awarded for best actor in a leading role for his portrayal of Richard Williams, the father of tennis superstars Venus and Serena.

Will Smith’s performance in King Richard was his third Oscar nomination, after Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness.

King Richard is the original story of the Williams sisters.

Isha Price, one of Venus and Serena’s older sisters, told NPR in an interview that they have been approached many times to make a movie about Venus and Serena.

However, Isha Price revealed that this one was different.

Instead of following a story that is still being written, King Richard became a snapshot of the early days, when Richard Williams served not only as the sisters’ trainer, but also as their fierce proponent.

Will Smith, who has said that he made this movie to honor the Williams family, also revealed that he saw his own father in the role he played in the movie.
