Ale Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Will Smith wasn't nominated for an Oscar this year, but his role in "I Am Legend" has earned a different "academy" award — from the cadets at the U.S. Military Academy. Smith was named the first winner of the Cadet Choice Movie Award, which was designed to honor the fictional character that best personifies West Point leadership qualities on the silver screen. Smith's character in the film, Army virologist Dr. Robert Neville, is the lone survivor of a zombie-making virus that devastates Manhattan. Nominated for his "value-based leadership," Neville received 27 percent of the cadets' 2,200 online votes. Runners-up included King Leonidas of "300," portrayed by Gerard Butler, and John McClane of "Live Free or Die Hard," portrayed by Bruce Willis. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jlc94tb...N3PILwD8UVVJE80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
