Denzel Washington says he’s not concerned about not receiving an Oscar nomination for his role in Ridley Scott’s upcoming sequel to Gladiator. The actor, who has won two Oscars and been nominated ten times, poked fun at the Academy snub during a recent interview with The New York Times. Washington, set to star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Broadway’s Othello, believes he’s “getting wiser” and focusing on understanding more than speaking. He emphasized that his approach to acting is about hearing lines from fellow actors rather than repeating them himself, which helps him deliver performances more naturally.
