During his acceptance speech, Smith cried while calling his win forKing Richard"one of the greatest moments" of his career. He then raved about the real-life legacy of his titular character Richard.

Before wrapping his speech, Smith gave a special shout-out to the Williams family (Venus was in attendance for the February ceremony).
“Venus, Serena, the Williams family, you entrusted me and our group with your story. You didn’t agree to put your name on it until you saw the final project. I get that, I get that. That’s cool. That’s real because we be messing stuff up sometimes,” he joked.
“But when I got the call and you watched the movie and you said you loved it, I just want to say thank you very much … It was my deepest pleasure to honor your family and to tell your story to the world. Thank you all,” Smith concluded.
