Will Smith to join wife Jada Pinkett Smith in Oscars boycott

Will Smith says he will not attend the Academy Awards next month, joining his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and others in protest against two straight years of all-white acting nominees.

Smith said on ABC’s Good Morning America that he and his wife feel “we’re uncomfortable to stand there and say ‘this is OK’”.

Some thought Smith might be nominated for his performance in the football drama Concussion, but he was not.
