He’s up for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture.

Will, 47, has been nominated for the prized acting gong for his role in the drama Concussion.

However, the actor lost out to Michael B. Jordan, who was instead awarded Outstanding Actor In A Motion Picture for his role in Creed.
As well as recognising those who have used creativity for social justice, the 47th annual red carpet event honours the performances and accomplishments of people of colour, according to its website.
While Will dressed in his red carpet finest of a sharp black tuxedo with matching bowtie, his wife left an unforgettable impression with her glamorous blue gown.
The Magic Mike XXL actress was simply stunning a long and feathered frock that featured a cinched waistline and long train that skimmed the red carpet.

Pulling back her hair into a chic ‘do, the actress put her famous face on full show, having highlighted it with bronzer blush, mascara, and a glossy slick of light pink lipstick.
But Jada’s eye-catching necklace and earrings threatened to steal the spotlight, as they glittered while resting on her neckline and from her ears.
Jada and Will have of late made headlines for their decision to boycott the overwhelmingly white Academy Awards.

Will recently clarified to BBC Radio 1’s Breakfast Show that the decision to boycott the Oscars was not about whether he personally received a nomination.
‘This is an issue of a really regressive trend, not just in Hollywood but in my country,’ he said.
‘It’s not about me or being nominated.’
