Denzel definitely deserved his Oscar for training day imo. Crowe was kind of boring in a beautiful mind. I thought Denzel played that character great. Malcolm X so far in his career is his best performance. Pizza boy hit the nail on the head when he said he's arguably the best of his generation. I think he's one of the best of any generation honestly I've always been extremely impressed by him ever since I saw him play malcolm x. But I've seen american sniper and birdman recently. Both great movies. The way birdman was directed was amazing. It was like the whole movie was shot in one continuous shot. You have to see it to know what I'm talking about. I'm not a movie expert or anything, I just like to watch great movies with great performaces from great actors and actresses(as well as great directing) but that director deserves as much recognition as possible. I'm confident he can turn the dicaprio and Tom Hardy movie he's directing into a real gem.
