While the crowning jewel of award season, the Academy Awards, are Sunday this whole week is full of actors rewarding each other including yesterday's First Annual Essence Black Women In Hollywood luncheon. Jada Pinkett Smith was one of the women of the afternoon and Will was on hand to present the award to his wife for everything that she has done in Hollywood. Tom and Katie (love her shoes) were there to help celebrate and speak about their friend alongside Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union and Vivica A. Fox just to name a few. Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee and possible record-breaker Ruby Dee also received an award at the luncheon and who knows, her mantel may be even more full by the end of the weekend!

Congrats to Mrs.Smith and the rest. They deserve it.
The real Mr.and Mrs.Smith look so in love,happy and hot. Tom looks so handsome too and Katie a vision in beauty. Love the hair and shoes.
1I'm hoping Jada didn't really cut her hair. Not really liking the new cut. Although she still looks FAB!
Will DAMN he doesn't look a day older than his Fresh Prince days, thank God for the little salt and pepper he has in his beard!
Raven Simone, awwww I still can't believe she's all grown up! Gorgeous!
Loving Kerry Washington's skirt!
2Go RubyDee!!!!! Good to see the couples and they all look so good.

I love Jada and Will, they are both good people and stuff but what has she done in Hollywood? I mean since Matrix, I havent seen her in anything... not being hateful, just wanna be informed.
22o present the award to his wife for everything that she has done in Hollywood.
What, for starring in crappy movies and being annoying?
23rocksugar gives her approval
24Jada looks great and she and Will are so cute.
Like KatE's shoes, that's about all I can really say about the robot.
25I love Jada.
Oh, and good to know that Katie Holmes is a black woman in Hollywood, I don't know how I missed that one.
26i love will:)))
27Congrats to them!
I love Will Smith. So talented.
28Jada, Katie, and Will are all hot...and then there is tom...
29i love will and jada--you can tell they are sooooo in love. he looks at her so adoringly.

31Katie and Tom were there to support their friend, Jada in receiving her award. And you don't have to be Black to attend events that honor Black people, people of all colors are invited I'm sure.
32Tom presented the award to Jada. They all look so happy and ravishing. Love Katie's hair. She looks stunning as well as Jada.
33Will and Tom are really aging so deliciously.
What shoes Katie is wearing?
THEY ALL LOOK SOOOOOO HOT.
34They all look great (especially love Katie's shoes!) and I agree with everyone else...Will Smith is hot! I was flicking through channels the other day and I, Robot was on and OMG Will Smith was so freaking buff in that movie. When he's in the shower and they take that side shot!
Now I know everyone thinks Katie is a robot but good for her for always wearing heels even though it dwarfs her hubby. LOL!
35Jada looks great, so soft and feminine. One of the reasons she's being honored is for her philanthropy, she has donated one million dollars to the high school(Baltimore School for the Arts) she graduated from. She and Will have a foundation, where they donate money to young people to further their education. Jada has also written an inspiring book titled Girls Hold Up The World, that tackles self esteem issues young girls may face.
36Katie always looks fashionable
37*Justinsgirl1989 * you are always telling the truth. It’s good to see this kind of colorful blog on Pop. There needs to be more for them. There are a powerful, positive, talented family. And congrats to Jada and Will on all of their accomplishments.
38tom and katie were there to show off matching outfits and practiced poses. puke. gag. blah. in 20 years we will be reading suri's bio "escape from the pod; my life with 2 alien beings"
39katie's still looking great!
40congrats finally a REAL couple in hollywood.wish the Smith couple best luck.
41SOO glad to see photos of this event. Proud of Jada, she deserves it. She is a great role model and inspiration for women in general. She also works hard at changing the perception of what women can do whether it's doing movies, create a tv show, direct a movie, or do rock music. Her and Will look great. LOVE HER HAIR THAT WAY. Perfect length. ONE OF HER BEST STYLES. I used to like that short cropped blonde look she had back in the day. Love TOM and Katie too!
42THey look like they all had a great time. Don't know about that dress on pretty Paula Patton, but everybody else including Kerry washington looked good.
Oh, got to add that Will and Jada are a super couple.
43Congrats to them. Will and Jada look wonderful together.
44I have a soft spot for Jada - she's as short as I am, and she's always brimming with confidence!
I ♥ Willada.
45I love Jada. She's pretty and talented. And I adore Will too.
