In statements to the podcast “Jake’s Takes” during his movie’s press tour Highest 2 LowestWashington said that no acting decision made in his career is related to winning prizes.
“I don’t do it for the Oscars. I don’t care those things”Said Washington. “I’ve been in this for a long time, and there are times that I won and I shouldn’t have won, and then I didn’t win and I must have won. Man gives the prize. God gives the reward.”

Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington’s advice on the awards
Not getting carried away by the awards has long been the Washington mantra. Your co -star of Training Day, Ethan Hawkeappeared in the podcast “Who talks to Chris Wallace?” De Max last year and remembered how Washington leaned towards him when Hawke lost the award for best cast actor on Oscar’s night to say: “It’s better that you haven’t won. Losing was better”.
“You don’t want an award to improve your status. You want to improve the status of the prize. He thinks,” Hawke said about Washington’s advice at that time. “That is what I mean when I play Babe Ruth. The Academy Award has more power, because Denzel has a couple. He did not raise it.”
