I thought Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind was easily the best performance that year that Denzel won.
This is where politics kills the Oscars. A lot of people thought Russell Crowe should have beaten Kevin Spacey in 1999 for his performance in The Insider. So, in 2000, the Oscars gave Russell Crowe the award despite Tom Hanks having the superior performance in Cast Away.
And when Crowe truly delivered in A Beautiful Mind, one of the best performances of the last decade, the Academy gave the Oscar to an inferior performing Denzel Washington.

Political make-up award for the Malcolm X snub.

So true. Very subjective, like the Heisman trophy most years.

Whoa guy just whoa. Denzel was excellent in Training Day. Brilliance. He made that character just jump off the screen.
