"King Richard" tells the story of the Williams Sisters, first and foremost that of Papa Richard Williams. How he pursued his vision of making Venus and Serena Williams the best women tennis players. Richard is played by none other than Will Smith - and if the enthusiastic reviews from the USA are to be believed, Smith gave a great performance.

The Oscar delegation probably also sees it that way: "King Richard" has been nominated in six categories for the Academy Awards :

as best film
for Best Actor (Will Smith)
for Best Supporting Actress (Aunjanue Ellis as Brandi Williams)
for Best Original Screenplay
for best song ("Be Alive")
for the best cut

Will "King Richard" win? Will be announced on March 27th.

You can get a picture of the film earlier: "King Richard" is scheduled to start in German cinemas on February 24th.
