    Yeah, no shit.

    Would be really hard to get an Oscar nom for playing in a movie that is a real contender for a few razzies.

    Would love to hear anyone share WHY his performance in gladiator 2 would deserve a nomination?

    He’s a well deserved actor acting like they can take on a 30 year old in combat while bringing down all of Rome? Regardless, let’s be clear Denzel does nothing to make this shit real. The role isn’t worth academy rewards in the first place any hemming and hawing is wasted breath.

      Yeah the whole movie was kinda dumb. It was pretty and the action was cool, but if you’re going to flood the coliseum and have sharks in there you make as well go full Minotaur and shit.

      He was so bad in it. I’d love to blame the movie (which was even worse) but there were several times he stopped playing Macrinus and switches to Alonzo
