Why Denzel Washington Doesn’t Care About His Oscar Wins

Denzel Washington says his acting decisions focus on respect and legacy, not awards, despite 10 Oscar nominations and two wins in his nearly 50-year career.

  • On his press tour, Denzel Washington said he’s not that interested in Oscars because they won’t ‘do me a bit of good’.
  • Earlier this year, Highest 2 Lowest premiered at Cannes and opens in theaters on Aug. 15 from A24 and Apple Studios, streaming on Sept. 5.
  • Supporting that stance, Washington noted he ‘doesn’t do it for Oscars’ despite 10 nominations and two wins, and he told Jake’s Takes he makes no decisions based on awards.
  • Reacting to his Oscars omission, Washington told The New York Times, `Are you kidding me? I’m happy with what I’m doing.` and said he’s `been around too long` to worry about awards.
  • Focusing on his career long-term, Washington emphasized that respect and legacy matter more than awards and stated no acting decision relates to winning Oscars.
