Denzel is by far the Most Sane Person in Hollywood...

[ooimmo]

I was lucky enough to drive him once from Nice airport to Antibes. It's not everyday in your life you get to meet a pure gentleman.

[CCEkeke]

Julia Roberts's reaction to him winning Best Actor at the Oscars was CLASSIC.

[HumanPeace]

A great actor, man, husband, father. A life well done. Hats off Mr Denzel Washington!

[christys]

I unexpectedly started crying when the camera took a quick shot of Chadwick Boseman. RIP T'CHALLA. A LEGEND FOREVER, GONE TOO SOON. 🙏

[Khaos]

1:55 you can tell they know each other so well, and that laugh she does while she needles him priceless !!!

[alel]

You can feel the true affection behind her words :)

[jasonjackson]

Denzel understands life priorities & Hollywood could learn a huge lesson from him.

[Actingskint]

That was a very classy tribute . She kept it short, full of humour and genuine affection . Something all of these award speeches should have, but sadly lack .

[DGuym]

Al Pacino and Denzel Washington are for me, the greatest actors of all time.

[israelcm]

A great actor and an even greater man.

[lonewalkerproductions]

Denzel Washington, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Marlon Brando and Daniel Day Lewis are not only amongst the very best actors of all time but these men pushed the boundaries of this art

[rumpledskin]

One icon paying tribute to another. Doesn't get any better.

Julia looks like she is in her 30s wowwweeee ! Julia honoured Pauletta because Pauletta is so secure about Denzel and never was mean to the ladies that came around him ....bless the Washingtons ❤

Pure friends love between Julia and Denzel

[rashadhaughton]

Denzel is the King.
Julia's laugh is captivating. You can tell she has not injected botox or went under the knife...beautiful!!

[Lisa-wyfp]

I remember hearing A saying that has always stayed with me, it goes "If You want to know the measure of A Man, how good A Husband/Father He Is just look to the side of Him and your answer lies in the smile on His Wife's Face"
Looking at Mrs Washington and Her beautiful smile I now understand the meaning behind that saying.

[jaideeprai]
