Will Smith gets badly snubbed at the Golden Globes, forcing the actor to now look at another way of bringing his career back to life.

Upset With &#8216;Emanicipation&#8217;, Will Smith Counts on Tom Cruise to Pump His Career Back Up

Will Smith returned to the big screen with Emancipation. The movie albeit
critically acclaimed, failed to cause the same commotion as his Oscar slap,
which was more or less what Smith was hoping for. You don’t have to belong to
the Holmes family to know that after the Oscar slap, Will Smith needed to make a
smashing comeback in order to revive his career. The actor acknowledged that the
road to redemption was going to be long and hard.

However, the ironic absence of the movie in the omnipresent award shows as we
near the end of the year. The brilliant storytelling, direction, and
performances when weighed next to the now-infamous personality attached to it,
sadly falters. And sadly, the entire movie has had to pay the price of Will
Smith’s actions by earning a disappointing 3k per screen against a staggering
$150 million budget.


WILL SMITH DISAPPOINTED BY AWARD SNUBS

The Men in Black actor has undoubtedly delivered one of the best performances in
his career. We see the actor at his peek with hollowed cheeks in a black and
white, both metaphorically and literally, setting. The actor as understanding as
he has been of the public’s disapproval still staggered in steps when he was not
met with the usual box high box office ratings.

The movie was filmed long before the actor pulled out one of the loudest slaps
at the Oscars. And the actor feels the most disappointed while looking at the
entire team getting snubbed. With Golden Globes nominations out, and no

or Will Smith in sight, it has become clear that the Oscars aren’t the only
awards with their doors closed on Smith.


DOES THE EMANCIPATION ACTOR HAVE A PLAN B?

Some may say that Will Smith’s performance in Emancipation has won hearts,
however, it does not take away from the fact that the movie has flopped
devastatingly. Naturally, Smith is now looking for another project to bring life
back into his career. And like many directors, Smith also believes that a Tom
Cruise action-packed movie is the path to success.

However, according to RadarOnline
[https://radaronline.com/p/will-smith-upset-emancipation-box-office-bomb-slap/]
the legendary actor is among the many who are refusing to associate themselves
with Will Smith, and for all the right reasons. Smith likes to keep his raps
clean and Cruise likes to keep his name clean.

Although it is uncertain what his next project is going to be or whether it will
change the course of the tide, more than the projects it is the path that Smith
will take, that the audience finds intriguing.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
