Denzel Washington not receiving an Academy Award nomination for Gladiator II would prove that he has bad luck with Ridley Scott movies.

Despite his extensive accolades, including 10 Oscar nominations, BAFTA recognition has remained elusive for Denzel Washington throughout his career

It’s not exactly a controversial statement to say that Denzel Washington is one of our greatest living actors. Many of Denzel Washington's best movies include some of the greatest acting performances in history.
