    He skipped too many Illuminati rituals?

    There are a lot of superior actors out there and Denzel Washington has had many many many many accolades.

    Try looking up his bio sometime.  He is not ignored.  Anymore than any great is ignored.

  • Why do actors have this rather fatuous extra ritual for their jobs.  One gets a pay check, that is enough.

  • I doubt it has little to do with the money at this point. Yes, plenty of accolades, but second best is not the winner.

  • I think you missed the point.  Why are entertainers, i.e. musicians, actors and athletes, given all this special recognition?  We don't have such ceremony for health care providers, pizza  delivery, or food service workers.  Entertainment is just a job like any other.

    Although I think some of his roles were overlooked and he should have won more, he has won 2 Oscars.  One was as Best Supporting Actor in Glory & One as Best Actor in Training Day.  I can't say that he has been purposefully snubbed by his peers because I don't have a clue about it.

    No wonder Lenny threw you over for me!  Besides my superior looks, he likes brainy women. 

    Look!  I took a short video right before I did him.  Enjoy!

     Oh yeah I forgot to tell ya.  He really is a completely broken man now so, I'm sending him back.  Don't say I never did anything for you.

    Denzel's amazing and deserving of many accolades but the year he won Best Actor for "Training Day," I actually thought Russell Crowe was robbed and should have won for "A Beautiful Mind."

  • Maybe for the same reason Bill Murray, Tom Cruise, Sir Ian McKellen, Michelle Pfeiffer,
    Johnny Depp, Brat Pitt and Glenn Close have never won one ... "whatever that is!!"
