Venus Williams, the tennis ace, never limited herself to tennis, though that does not mean she loses focus. The 41-year-old has somehow found the balance between her game and other activities. She celebrates every occasion that brings her joy, cherishing her expressive nature.

The splendid success of the movie King Richard has made up to the list of such occasions for Williams. The movie has done great on the box office and is accomplishing wonders in this year’s awards shows. Further, the movie received six nominations for this year’s Oscars and might as well bag a few of them. As the movie is a picturization of Williams trio’s struggle and success, it obviously calls for their attendance in the Oscars.
