Will Smith Award Acceptance Speech 28th Annual SAG Awards TNT 0 12 screenshot

Will Smith won the Screen Actors Guild award for Best Actor for his role as Richard Williams in the film King Richard. In a tearful speech, Smith highlighted the win as “one of the greatest moments” of his career and touched on what it meant to portray Williams.

“Richard Williams is a dreamer like no one you’ve ever known,” said Smith. “He has a power of belief that borders on insanity and sometimes tips over the border, which is absolutely necessary to take something from impossible to possible.”

In the win, Smith won over Andrew Garfield, Benedict Cumberbatch, Javier Bardem, and Denzel Washington. Speaking with PEOPLE, Smith highlighted special words he received from Washington in the recent time they have spent together. “This is your year,” Smith said Washington, his mentor, told him.

“He just hugged me and he said, ‘I’m so happy for you. Just love who you’re becoming,’” Smith said. “He knew me years ago, I would go to Denzel for advice so he’s seen me through the years and he was just telling me how proud he is of who I’ve become and what I’ve become. He was saying that he felt like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders somehow.”

According to a report from People Magazine, former adult film star Jenna Jameson, who is suffering from Guillain-Barré syndrome, has been confined to a wheelchair after beginning treatment for the disease.

“I still have more testing to do but it seems there’s something off with my femoral nerve, and it’s affecting my strength in my legs,” said Jameson this past week in her Instagram story. “So I am still in a wheelchair, unfortunately, but I hope to be out of the wheelchair soon and walking. So say a little prayer.”

Even though doctors later confirmed that Jameson doesn’t have Guillain-Barré syndrome, they are still monitoring her health amid her weight loss, particularly in her legs. “My legs are incredibly skinny,” said Jameson. “But don’t get too alarmed, because my legs have always been ultra skinny. So don’t judge me. We will be back to the best soon!”
