on my list of nightmares, Will Smith being nominated again ranks pretty high. If Will Smith somehow ends up in an Paul Haggis film directed by Eastwood, I might have to break out the sniper rifle.

He's very good, but in all honesty, outside of "Ali," he hasn't delivered a performance in his career worthy of a nomination. Don't get me wrong, he's so fun to watch, he's got a ton of charisma, and he can handle any genre...but he simply isn't a strong enough actor [at least, from the roles he's done so far] to be truly Oscar-worthy. In my opinion, Hanks was notably better in Cast Away, even if IAL was a much more entertaining film, and Smith really seems to play Smith in every movie [aside from, as I've said, "Ali"]. If he does more stuff like "Ali," the Oscar nominations will come to him since he's such a huge name...but movies like "I Am Legend," which ask for Will Smith's charisma and not so much his acting, won't get him any nominations. They will gain him more popularity, however.
