‘Ali’ and ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ are not only regarded as two of Will Smith‘s best motion pictures, but many hail the masterpieces as two of the century’s greatest cinematic offerings.

And while both were recognized with nominations by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in their years of eligibility (2002 and 2007 respectively), neither nabbed a golden statuette for Smith – a loss many critics still deem a misstep on behalf of the Academy.

Sunday (March 27) brought with it what may be redemption, however, when Will walked away with the Best Actor trophy for his acclaimed performance as Richard Williams – father of legendary tennis sisters Serena and Venus Williams – in 2021’s ‘King Richard.’

Amid criticism for the lack of diversity among its voting committee and winners, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – the organization responsible for the annual Golden Globes – looked to shed the negative press by awarding one of its most varied slew of winners yet aboard its 79th annual ceremony Sunday (January 9).

Not long into the untelevised show’s run, the dreams of ‘Be Alive’ winning were deadened.

In 2016, Taylor Swift made GRAMMY history when she scored her second Album of the Year win – that time for her blockbuster 2014 LP, ‘1989.’

Joining an elite group of acts who have won the night’s most prestigious honor more than once over their respective careers, Swift became the first female artist to win the gold more than once as a lead performer (following career wins from Norah Jones, Lauryn Hill, and Alison Krauss who had previously won multiple times as performers, producers, and/or songwriters).

Fast forward to 2021, Swift can now boast sole ownership of the most Album of the Year wins among female acts as the main credited performer, songwriter, and producer as she’s won the golden gramophone again!
