Denzel Washington Still Has Never Been Nominated for a BAFTA After Latest ‘Gladiator 2’ Snub


Denzel Washington is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation, but he remans a blind spot for the BAFTAs.

With over 65 film credits, nine Academy Award nominations (including two wins) and more than 270 accolades across a 45-year career, Denzel Washington is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation. Washington’s other Oscar-nominated performances — including his breakout in “Cry Freedom” (1987), his heartfelt work in “The Hurricane” (1999), and his profoundly affecting portrayal of an alcoholic pilot in “Flight” (2012) — all failed to garner BAFTA’s attention. Despite a career marked by consistent excellence, groundbreaking achievements, and cultural impact, BAFTA continues to sideline him, raising questions about whether its voting body fully appreciates his contributions to cinema.
