King Richard

I watched this movie last night. Now I am not a huge tennis fan, considering watching tennis only slightly less boring than watching golf, but there are reasons beyond that for me not caring for the game, which I won't go into here. However, I do seriously admire Venus and Serena Williams, and I remember vividly when they came on the scene, and a "60 Minutes" segment about them and their dad just as they did. Besides which I think Hollywood should seriously consider Serena as the next "Black Panther".

But this is not about that. When I judge an acting job, it's about whether the actor makes me forget who they are, and Will Smith seriously made me forget he was Will Smith in this movie. He absolutely deserves the Best Actor award for his portrayal of Richard Williams.
