Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx—who is hosting the Oscars this year—criticized Will Smith for his announced boycott of the event.
Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee were among the black actors and directors announcing a boycott, and Jada was soon joined by her husband Will Smith.
“We’re part of this community but at this current time, we’re uncomfortable to stand there and say that this is OK,” Smith said, referring to the fact that all of the top 20 nominees this year are white.
Foxx disagrees that black actors were snubbed because they're black, saying they need to 'act better.'
