"My wife's not going. It would be awkward for me to show up with Charlize (Theron)," said Smith on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday. "We've discussed it, but at this current time, we're uncomfortable to stand there and say this is OK."
Smith, who some thought might be nominated for his performance in the football drama "Concussion," said his decision was "deeply not about me."
"This is about children that are going to sit down and they're going to watch the show and they're not going to see themselves represented," said Smith.
