I have not seen Training Day, but No no. It's OK. You can stop there. That's all we need to know. If you see that movie, by all means come back and tell us your analysis. even Sidney Poitier won an honorary Oscar if I recall. He already had one. Isn't that awarded to someone's entire career? 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. No, those are all myths. Denzel had already won for GLORY. Henry Fonda and Tom Hanks didn't even get nominated for ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST and THE LADYKILLERS respectively. Grace, Nicole and Charlize were also nominated for other kinds of roles. Whoa!! Hold on - I didn’t say that it was the only Oscar he’d ever won. I said he deserved Oscars for other movies (which I think he did) but I think he got attention from some of the viewers for playing a bad guy. You can’t prove he didn’t get attention this way.  I don’t think it’s an accident when beautiful actresses get Oscars for appearing ugly in movies. My opinions are just as good (or not good) as your opinions. There is no way to objectively analyze something as subjective as the Oscars, but we’re all entitled to our opinions. Don’t call my opinions myths and expect to use the scientific method to prove this. |
