Training Day was the one movie (I think) where Denzel Washington played a bad guy.
I think they might have given him the Oscar for this reason (just like they sometimes give out Oscars to actresses who are beautiful in real life but who play ugly or plain women in their movie).
Grace Kelly got an Oscar this way - also Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron.
Denzel Washington is my favorite actor so I think he could have won the Oscar a number of times for other movies. I just think this one was so unusual (with him as a bad guy) that it really got people’s attention at how well he could pretend to be bad.
