Will Smith's perseverance and dedication to change in Hollywood was acknowledged during the 2016 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night. Smith was recognized at the annual event for his outstanding achievements in film as a recipient of the MTV Generation Award. Prior to presenting Smith with the prestigious honor, Halle Berry and Queen Latifah both applauded the Philadelphia native for being a "champion for diversity in Hollywood." "[He is] blazing a path for actors by showing that someone of any color can play any role, and can open any movie, and can win every award, and be the biggest freaking movie star in the whole world," Berry said. Smith followed Berry's powerful sentiments with an insightful reflection on his 30 years in the entertainment industry.
