Denzel Washington named the greatest actor of the 21st century.

[Zaroku]

The one teardrop had Oscar written all over it.

Denzel is the same person in every movie. I don't recall him ever stepping out of his comfort zone. IMHO, he played a thug terribly in Training Day. So forced and cliched.

Exactly!! So many great actors coming up getting overlooked by a one dimensional actor.

My wife thinks Sheldon from Big **** theory is awesome..

She even thinks the “Rock� is better.

Personally I was into a RuPaul show that was awesome.

My wife also loves Javier Bardem..
but, she loves a lot of non American actors too.

I don’t know...

I still think American Beauty with Spacy was awesome

Daniel Day-Lewis has won two Oscars since 2000, compared to 1 for Denzel

Denzel was robbed in Flight and Malcom X.

I think Tom Hanks and Leo are better but if you are talking about minority actors then definitely. American born actors he’s definitely up there.

leonardo dicaprio is far superior to denzel and it's not even close.

dicaprio FAR more versatile too.

I agree. I can run off more Leo movies then Denzel but let’s be honest white actors do get more opportunities. That’s not shade on Leo he’s a great actor and tom hanks.

Denzel was robbed in Flight and Malcom X.

He wasn't robbed in Malcolm X

The other nominees were Al Pacino, Clint Eastwood or Robert Downey jr

He was good as Malcolm but not great. You could argue that Pacino's performance in scent of a woman was his best

You think he's better than Al Pacino at his best?

The right guy won

Denzel was robbed in Flight and Malcom X.

Malcolm X was a 1992 movie, and therefore, outside the scope of this discussion.

Theo Von had a great line. He goes “I’d work out if I was guaranteed a woman. I’m not going to bust my ass in the gym for a maybe.”

[megas30]

He was right about the Oscars.... But was reaching when he brought up boxing.

I never brought up boxing; it was that GGG fella who brought up boxing. When he brought up boxing, I told him "FOTY" is not about who is the best fighter but more about best wins and memorable fights. Go back and read the thread, bro. He was the one who brought it up.

Lmfao we're only 21 years in. Denzel is a really good actor though
