A great actor could also be a movie star and they do have a "type"
Nah man. When I saw that movie I literally told my date that he'd be nominated for that role, didn't think he'd win though
Go watch the preachers wife then watch training day, Denzel's range is legendary
watch training day and watch a beautiful mind and tell me who had the better performance. I remember crowe had some sort of PR problem. Beating a reporter or something. I think because of that he didnt win. That and the fact that he won it the previous year for his role in gladiator. Denzels performances in Malcom X, The hurricane and Philadelphia are better than his performance in training day

well denzel was nominated for Malcolm X and The Hurricane, many people feel he should've been nominated for Philadelphia, but every year there are actors that get snubbed, this is just how it is.

It's because his parents are African, his father was Sierra Leonean and his mother was Ghanaian. Beasts of No Nation was written by an Ibgo Nigerian, and although the town was fictional, it's ostensibly a Nigerian country as the kid Agu speaks in British Nigerian dialect, The young actor who plays Agu, is Ghanaian.
Unlike so many misguided black Americans, Africans and black people who live in the U.K. do not see black as race, but a skin color. Their confidence derives from their cultural background and communities allowing them to be proud and unaffected by internalized racism the way black Americans are. So many beautiful black people are products of intercultural marriages, like Nicole Beharie who's Nigerian and Jamaican.

Denzel played a Jamaican and an African too, I think.

I've noticed a trend with some of you Coli posters, whenever I post something informative and most importantly OBJECTIVE, it's usually attacked with a baseless and SUBJECTIVE retort rooted in raw ignorance.
Phillips said: “We have moved on from the days of racial hostility but we are still in a state of acute discomfort about racial difference.”

He said he was doubtful that people’s actual views on race fluctuated sharply year on year, and instead thought events had made people more or less comfortable voicing how they really felt. “They are emboldened at certain points to discuss their discomfort. There is far less interpersonal bigotry and abuse. People don’t hate other people because of their colour, as would have been the case 50 years ago. But that is different to saying: ‘Do I feel comfortable in the company of a lot of people who are not like myself?’

I'm from New York, and it doesn't matter whether I live in England or not, because I'm referring to their intercultural disposition worldwide. And I have good size amount of friends and family from both the U.K. and Africa. It's very clear to see that their perspective isn't preoccupied with skin color being seen as a disadvantage the way it is for many black Americans.
The black American mindset is dysfunctional, however it's the only one which has prevailed after centuries of compulsory ignorance and marginalization, that I can say. But the reason these blacks from other countries do well and can seamlessly insert themselves into other cultures and countries is because they have a sense of pride black Americans simply do not, which is cultural and heritage pride.
