Why didn’t Will Smith win Oscars for his role in Pursuit of Happyness?
There’s no clearcut answer. Winning an Academy Award is as much about politics as it is the worthiness of the performance, perhaps moreso. Stars need to campaign, attend events, and often bend over backward to prove themselves.
Moreover, anyone nominated for an Oscar can lose just like Smith has lost twice.
