Denzel Washington expressed indifference regarding his lack of an Oscar nomination for 'Gladiator 2', focusing instead on his successful Broadway performance in 'Othello'. He humorously acknowledged his disappointment, saying he isn't upset and is content with his projects. Despite being overlooked by the Academy in 2025, Washington received critical acclaim and nominations from other awards, highlighting his enduring impact on the industry. At 70, he reflects on growing wiser and more fulfilled in his journey as an artist, marking a shift in priorities as he considers retirement.
I was sitting there smiling, going: Look at you. On the day you didn't get a nomination for an Oscar, you're working on Othello on Broadway.
Are you kidding me? Awww. Oh, I'm so upset. I'm happy for all that did, and I'm happy with what I'm doing.
The beginning of wisdom is understanding. I'm getting wiser, working on talking less and learning to understand more - and that's exciting.
Washington has been an Oscars darling over the years, which made his 2025 snub all the more surprising.
