Academy award winner Jamie Foxx recently threw some subtle shade at Will Smith at the American Black Film Festival. The Oscar winner joked about the Oscars boycott by certain black actors saying that he didn't understand why black actors were displeased with The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences for not including black actors in this year's nominees list.
He disclosed that he and Denzel Washington were unimpressed with all the complaints and that black actors should step up their game.
He then went on to joke about Will Smith's Nigerian accent in Concussion (a biographical movie about Dr Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist) saying that the actor should act better if he and other actors want to win the top prize.
Ouch!! Wonder what Will Smith will have to say to that.
Will Smith & his wife have stated that their Oscars boycott has nothing to do with the fact that Will Smith for his performance in Concussion.
One question comes to mind from all this: are black actors like Will Smith not good enough to be nominated for an Oscar ?
