Philadelphia's Will Smith, Questlove Receive Oscar Nominations

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- This year's Oscar nominations are out and there are a lot of familiar faces from the Philadelphia region. Will Smith has been nominated for best actor for his role in "King Richard."

It's the West Philly native's third-best actor nomination. He has yet to win. Maybe the third time will be the charm.

Smith isn't the only person with local ties to earn a nomination.

Questlove from The Roots was nominated for best documentary feature for "Summer of Soul."

Malvern native Adam McKay is up for best original screenplay for "Don't Look Up."
