Ah, but I guess it would have been expecting too much for Hollywood to recognize his knockout, Oscar-worthy performances in "Malcolm X" or "Hurricane". LOL

I totally agree, but Hollywood wanted an anti hero at that time. Denzel's character was truly a departure from the style and roles that have endeared him to the public over the years. What it did was demonstrated to the world that he has "RANGE," and he was recognized for having the nerve to demonstrate it in that role.
They took an extremely cheap shot when the oscar went to 666MAFIA for that crappy song from that crappy movie HUSTLE AND FLOW I think it was. Somebody owed somebody obviously.
Speaking of range, there was a movie sometime ago called HOLIDAY HART. It starred Ving RHYMES as a cross dressing gay man trying to raise a little girl. Great movie and Rhymes managed to pull it off. I couldn't believe he did it, but he did!
