Will Smith and Denzel square up again at the Oscars
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
Denzel already won for training day
He deserved that too.
That felt insincere IMO.
Occasionally they give an Oscar to someone based more on their past work and acknowledging that they should have one already as opposed to the role they're nominated for.
I felt the same way when they finally gave Scorsese a win for best director.
Not that they didn't actually deserve it when they did win and I don't take anything away from that but still.
Due to that I wouldn't mind seeing Denzel win for a role like this.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Will win, I think he's slept on as an actor due to all those blockbusters he had so people are dismissive of his skill.
At the same time a part of me doesn't want him to right now after a year plus of him and his wife telling all their business like they're in Love and Hip Hop.
Denzel is owed for X, Flight, Fences, Man on Fire, Hurricane, shit maybe John Q...
Nope not nominated; Flight was; Hurricane was too; Fences was too; Man on Fire wasnt nominated...Def John Q ......was he even nominated..?
No it wasnt nominated for Oscar...He was and lost to Casey Affleck

John Q came out in 2002 ...ur confusing it with Fences
Nah just a miscommunication, my bad.
I thought you were asking if he was nominated for any of the films @Day_Carver mentioned, not just John Q.
I dont see anywhere where he was nominated for John QHe was:

Denzel Washington for his role in Fences. Denzel Washington plays Troy Maxson, a middle-aged man whose bitterness over his sports career and life as a black man in 1950s Pittsburgh threatens to tear apart his family. This is the seventh Academy Award nomination for Denzel Washington.
He was previously nominated for:

MALCOLM X (1992) -- Nominee, Actor in a Leading Role
GLORY (1989) -- Winner, Actor in a Supporting Role
CRY FREEDOM (1987) -- Nominee, Actor in a Supporting Role
right right
yea he should have at least 5 oscars...
had to go look it up ...said he has the record for most nominations as a black actor...
That was some hard dialogue. I forgot how out-of-date Shakespeare was. I tried, but I didn't get too far into Macbeth, I'm sorry.
I was just lost with the language. I love Denzel as an actor, but I couldn't make it, it was just...
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. Creeps in this Petty Pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to Dusty death
Out, out brief candle. Life's but a walking Shadow. A poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
It's wild that I can still remember that from high school, but the movie was lost on me. I may try to watch it again at a later date, but I was not feeling it at the time
I like Will Smith in King Richard oh, but the Oscars old Denzel twice for robbing him for Malcolm X and giving it to that bitch ass Casey Affleck boy when Denzel deserved it for Fences
I havent seen the movie but heard Denzel was great in it; Will was good but I didnt think he was great in King Richard...
Good, not great. Handled the complexities and struggles of the character well
Why swap out any, both were solid performances.
Just add John Q to the list
my least favorite Dee movie by far...
While I don't disagree, especially when it comes to Denzel, it may not be that simple.
There’s been more than a few times where I've found out someone didn't get an Oscar for acting, directing, etc. and felt they got robbed until I looked at who else was nominated and who actually won against them.
When you consider how few are nominated in each category in an entire year and consider that most of the times those nominated will all be great to a degree it isn't difficult to see how a lot of deserving artists don't get an award.
Have you seen Carbon Copy
hes got an excuse for his earlier works ..he was trying to get on ni99a had to take work where ever he could find it ...
Yeah, I couldn't follow that shit either. That's a day time watch.
hes got an excuse for his earlier works ..he was trying to get on ni99a had to take work where ever he could find it ...
I totally agree but you're telling me if you were forced to watch Carbon Copy or Roman J. Israel you're going to choose that flick?
But the role Denzel wouldn't take...(great story if you haven't seen rhis)hes got an excuse for his earlier works ..he was trying to get on ni99a had to take work where ever he could find it ...
Yes it was nominated for best picture and best actor in the movie fences oh. I don't know the movie he lost to for best picture, but I do know he lost best actor to Casey fucking Affleck
