[Pretty Boy1]

Will's a nice guy, why he's so nice
I'd let him date my daughter
Like he was a white guy
He's not like the rest, he's a private flight guy
Why if I were gay on Friday night I'd

Mr Nice Guy - Will Smith

I'm talking about his acting ability, I only put his films and Box Office numbers to show what he's accomplished in his career. Box Office numbers don't win awards.

[Carpe Diem]

He needs more dramatic roles. He was great on the Pursuit of happiness and 7 pounds. He should go after the tougher dramatic roles.

[Rick Grimes]

I've enjoyed most Will Smiths films, but to be honest he isn't a great actor i wouldn't even say he was good.

[MidnightSpecial]

The Pursuit of Happyness was his best bet so far but didnt get it

i thought his portrayal of ALI was subpar

[T.Horton]

I know he's been nominated for Pursuit of Happyness and Ali but has never won. Do you think his acting ability is good enough to one day win one? I know he needs the right role aswell but is he good enough?

even though I admire and respect the hell out of him, no, I don't think he is deserving - based on his acting skills.

[aristotlemoses]

It's all politics anyway, he'll win when they wanna give him one. That's what they did with Sandra Bullock with that football movie. She can't act worth a lick and there wasn't an overbearing performance anyway that year.
