it's not from the AMA's actually it's from these screenings of "Hustle & flow" that Will's hosting for Terrance Howard in hopes that maybe he can get an Oscar nod for his performance

EDIT: here's an article about it:

WILL SMITH WANTS AN OSCAR FOR TERRENCE HOWARD: Big Will hosts L.A. screenings to sway Academy voters

*He has absolutely no financial or creative stake in the film “Hustle & Flow,” yet Will Smith has made it his mission to draw Oscar attention to the critically-acclaimed movie and its breakout star, Terrence Howard.

Smith has arranged and will host back-to-back screenings of the Paramount Classics film Friday evening at CAA, the management agency that represents him. After the second showing, Smith and Howard will head across town to the Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills where Smith will moderate a Q&A session following a special screening for invited members of the Screen Actors Guild.

"Will felt it was a wonderful showcase for Terrence and he wanted to help give it as much exposure as possible," said Smith's spokeswoman, Pat Kingsley.

Smith’s cheerleading for Howard and the film began after he saw a screening of it prior to its July opening. During “H&F’s” big Hollywood premiere, Smith made a point to walk the red carpet with Howard in an attempt to draw as much attention to the actor as possible.

Nominations for the 78th annual Academy Awards will take place on Jan. 31, five weeks before the ceremony on March 5.
