After his wife Jada Pinkett Smith confirmed she would not be attending this year's Oscar ceremony, two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith is following her lead. While Smith was out of town when his spouse shared a video online drawing attention to the lack of diversity in this year's Oscar nominations, her initiative made him proud. While speaking to Robin Roberts, he says, "I was knocked over. I was happy to be married to that woman, but I appreciated the push." Some critics claim the pair's backlash is a result of not receiving an Oscar nod this year, though Smith says the video would have existed regardless. When Roberts asked if he would be attending, Smith said, "No. We've discussed it and we're part of this community, but at this current time, we're uncomfortable to stand there and say this is OK."
