Furthermore, one of the notable attendees of the show is Will Smith, who, along with wife Jada Pinkett Smith is the center of #OscarsSoWhite issue. The controversy started after the revelation that no actor of color were nominated in 20 acting awards of the Oscars, even though there are several actors who should have been considered as strong contenders. Those artists are Idris Elba of Beasts of No Nation and Michael B. of Creed. Will Smith and his wife announced that they would not attend the Academy Awards ceremony at the end of the month as a form of protest.

"There's a position that we hold in this community, and if we're not part of the solution, we're part of the problem," Smith recently told "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts. "
