no Training Day was Denzel's Doggystyle IMO he was AMAZING in training day first time playing a bad guy made you hate him....and if i remember correctly he won a best actor award for that role right? and imagine winning that award with a movie about the subject that it is.... its kinda rare to see that shit.... you usually get those kinda awards in crazy dramas and stuff not no currupt action gang bangin shit...

Didn't Denzel win his best supporting actor playing a guy people hated (he did redeem himself but the performace was still more a villain than hero as far as acting went.
And to whoever said Scent of A woman was a guilt Oscar for Scarface; I disagree on both counts; 1. He was amazing in Scent and deserved it just as much as any body else, a 2. if it was a guilt Oscar it wasn't for Scarface, it was for his 3 straight nods in '73, '74, and '75 for Serpico, Godfather pt.2 , and Dog Day Afternoon respectively, and the 4th nod he got for ...And Justice for All. He wasn't even nominated for Scarface and given the competition that year I'm not sure if he should have been. Montana was a cool character and he did a nice Cuban gangster impression but the roles he had been nominated for were all better in my opinion. Nostalgia and coolness will aleays make people from our generation think of Scarface as better than it really was.

I do agree on Scarface as a movie in general, there are some incredibly tedious bits to it once you've watched it a couple of times, and overall as a movie its not up there was the definite gangster films. It says a lot about how good Pacino's portrayel of Tony Montana is, because it turns an average movie into something that has become a cult classic. I do also agree that he was excellent in all of the other films you mentioned, so the eventual oscar for Scent of a Women was more of a culumative prize for that and his previous works combined, rather than just for that film (in which he was good, but I don't think as good as he was in his other nominations that should have previously won). I do think that without Pacino's nomination that year, Denzel would have got the oscar for Malcolm X, and thus it was a case of his next great performance (Training Day), was always going to put him in very strong contention for an oscar.
eS El Duque:
This movie was great...it kind of dragged a long. But i believed this was a "normal" cop...not "Hey, thats Denzel"..no what i mean?
