Many who championed Foxx emphasized that he’s masterful with many of his talents — including acting, music, comedy and making impressions.
The hype for Foxx uplifted him as a well-rounded entertainer, not just an actor.
Jamie Foxx has more range than anyone I’ve ever seen.
He’s one of the most talented men in the world.

Those who caped for Smith highlighted how his admirable dedication to acting has shined in all his past roles.
Online users called out titles from the movie star’s long list of credits and praised the range of his characters.
When it comes to a much serious note Will Smith gets the credit, he plays the father role with a phenomenal purpose, he sees himself as the once existing person if it was a true story, he was born out of a dispensation of success in real acting I say his the best. 100%

Jamie Foxx is a great actor don't get me wrong. But if you look at Wills catalog and then how many of those movies he was the best part of. He does good with comedy, action and drama. I have only personally seen funny and action Jamie Foxx excluding a few Django moments. pic.twitter.com/7ptrTH8tWU

Silly supporting evidence ranged from GIFs of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Django Unchained to a meme of Smith’s unforgettable Oscars slap.
Regardless, both men were celebrated for their decades-long respective contributions to entertainment.
Many couldn’t even choose between the two due to the immensity of the actors’ individual talents. As one user said, “Why does any 1 of them have to be better than the other? They are both good actors, and we thankful for what they have done for us with their talent.”

Hard to chose. Will Smith is a great actor. From Ali to pursuit if happiness to I am legend the list goes on and on.
Jamie is good bt lesser roles and movies than will bt he's made a big impact on those few movies.

Comparing doesn’t always work. Look at Django, Jammie kills it. Look at Pursuit of happiness, Will kills it. They both have different characters and both are good at it. It’s like comparing Messi and Ronaldo, it’s not fair.

Why does any 1 of them have to be better than the other? They are both good actors and we thankful for what they have done for us with their talent🤞🏽🙏🏽
