The Awardist

Will Smith and Aunjanue Ellis supply the fire to the inspirational sports drama 'King Richard'


Listen Later

EW’s Clarissa Cruz and Joshua Rothkopf—along with their special guest, EW critic Leah Greenblatt—discuss the Best Actor race as we head into the final weeks of Oscar campaigning. Triumphant at the SAG Awards, Will Smith may have this one in the bag. (We think so.) At least whoever wins will get their full, glorious moment during the telecast, unlike those nominated in the eight categories that, for the first time ever, will distributed during the pre-show. We've got some thoughts about this. Then, we present our interviews with Will Smith and Aunjanue Ellis, who elevate 'King Richard' into something complex: a portrait of a marriage with a shared vision, but also a bit of friction.
