content: Are you kidding!! Continuing the trend of showing how out of touch the Academy Awards is with quality cinema these days, they chose to give Denzel an Oscar for this laughable performance. The Academy Awards hasn't made a mistake this big since..well let's see, last year when they snubbed Ellen Burstyn for her exceptional performance in Requiem for a Dream, and gave the Oscar to actress/hack Julia Roberts.Training Day is a terrible flick, filled with shallow performances, and a lackluster story. It was an arduous task to even sit through the whole movie. If you have any discernible taste at all, you'll avoid this picture like the plague. The only film worse than this last year was "Pearl Harbor". Don't get me started on that one.
