We saw Will Smith on the red carpet before and in his front row seat many times throughout the night, but when Julia Roberts announced the Best Actor nominees all we saw was his picture.

Will and wife Jada had to left the Oscar ceremony immediately after a phone call that their 18-month-old daughter Willow was taken to the hospital. Little Willow had an ear infection and a spiked fever.

The Smith's have always made it clear to fans that family is top priority and proved it Sunday night. Mommy and daddy was all Willow needed. She is now home and doing fine.
