Why didn't Denzel won an oscar for this?


Why didn't this movie even didn't receive an oscar?

The Academy is a joke. This movie is a masterpiece and very close to the book, most movies don't do that alot anymore. And nowadays it's just art and camera work behind the set something that makes your eyes go to sleep. Very Underrated and under appriciated.

And Denzel should've won the oscar for this film, one of the most brilliant performance's i've ever seen.

I liked Stephen Rea best of the nominees for his subtly beguiling work in The Crying Game, but Denzel was certainly streets ahead of Pacino at his most unappealingly hammy. It's certainly more impressive than the two roles for which Washington did win.
