"Denzel Washington, who won [an Osacar]for his role in Training Day"
He was GREAT in that. I saw it on TV not too long ago. He's got one scene where he's explaining why his corrupt way is the right way to go. Completely compelling. He had me so sold on his terrible ideas, I couldn't believe it. What a performance. The movie does kind of fall apart at the end, but for that once scene alone he definately deserved the Oscar.
Ten years from now, people will still be watching Training Day. NOBODY will be watching either A Beautiful Mind or Monster's Ball.
