IMO, Russell Crowe's performance in A Beautiful Mind>>>>Denzel Washington's performance in Training Day but it was his first villain so I have no problem with it.....Again....everyone's been robbed at the Oscars like Denzel's Malcolm X, etc.
Denzel becomes most nominated African American in Oscar History.....

Russell took the Golden Globe that year and he was great in "A Beautiful Mind" but he just won for Gladiator the year before (Crazy Russell was in back to back Best Pictures) and they owed Denzel for "X" and "Hurrcaine". Don't get me wrong, "Training Day" is a Classic in the Black Community but that was far from Denzel's best performance. It gets a lot of shine cause it was Denzel's 1st Villian role since "A Solider's Story".

dope movie, everyone in that flick killed their roles
Even though I'm a huge Denzel fan and movie buff. I just saw this movie recently again during the holiday's. I saw it as a kid from my parents cause it was one of those Classic Black movies that they showed me and my brothers growing up but when you are young you don't understand. I watched it VHS when I visited my parents for Thanksgiving and the movie was crack.
Denzel killed it and believe it or not the movie was actually nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Seeing Denzel in that role early in his career you could see he was going to be something special. The whole Cast did amazing and it was an all Black Cast in the early 80's. Amazing movie, everyone should check it out. I only remembered a certain scene's when I watched it again but seeing it as an Adult was great:

If Daniel Day didn't play Lincoln this would easily have been Denzel's win. With "Flight" hitting DVD shelves more and more people across the nation have felt the power of Denzel's complex performance in Flight. He is clearly easily gave a Top 3 performance for a lead actor this year. So even though they will give it to Daniel Day. Denzel deserves a 3rd Oscar before he retires.
Denzel did an amazing job in Flight but lets not act like DDL winning would be a travesty...Lincoln would've been complete trash without DDL. The way he dove into that role you would've thought youre watching a documentary starring Lincoln himself.

that one movie from the 80's, idk if it was mentioned yet when he was the principal of that where every nikka either had a perm or a lot of jewrey
I know it's crazy to bump such an old thread but I gotta give it to Denzel for delivering one of the most etherous lines to the American establishment of the modern era
