Denzel earned his first Academy Award in 1990. His performance in Glory, a Civil War movie in which he portrayed a fugitive slave, was truly breathtaking. Washington’s pain was felt through the screen, as was his resiliency and determination. Denzel dominates the screen every time he appears. Denzel’s tribute to the black soldiers who fought for the Union cause in the Civil War earned him a much-deserved Best Supporting Actor win.
