This tribute never fails to make me tear up because I can plainly see how much Sidney Poitier means to him and how emotional he became at the end. Now, younger generations of actors look at Denzel Washington with the same respect and admiration he felt (still feels) for Mr. Poitier!

Today's sad news of Sidney's passing, brought me here today. Grace, dignity and class made Sidney an icon of the industry. If you have never seen a Sidney Poitier movie I urge you to do so.

What a beautiful heartfelt speech, Denzel. Today you represent to many what Sidney did represent to you. Class, respect, talent and humbleness. God bless you!

Denzel Washington one of a kind

Denzel Washington - He has sooo much finesse it brings tears to my eyes :) I just love this very special human being. We NEED soooo many more like him in this world today.

It is amazing how little Denzel Washington has changed in 19 years..2011..He is still one of the best actors around!!

When I read this morning that Sir Sidney Poitier had passed on, I remembered this tearing speech. Sidney epitomized decency. I am grateful I named my daaughter after him. Rest in power Sidney.

Always felt Sidney and Denzel share a lot of mannerisms. Now my intuition has been proved accurate. Two of the greatest actors who ever stood before a movie camera.

The legacy continues.. ❤️

What a beautiful and classy man is Sidney Potier. As a young white kid I was incredibly moved by " Raisin in the Sun " , and his powerful performance in it. Men like Mr. Potier, Morgan Freeman, and Denzel Washington are desperately needed front and center today with the youngsters in Black America in my opinion. These men are great examples of what maybe can be if one wants better things from life.

I still remember watching Poitier on black and white TV, back in my country in Spanish. Nice to see him in this video together with two of my favorites actors: Freeman and Washington. Sorry about my English. Any way, I respect the three of them as well as Mohamed Ali (the boxer). Not for the color of their skin (that could be any color, does not matter), but for their humanity and career.

Charlton Heston played Moses. Sir Sidney Poitier was indeed the Moses of Hollywood. Never again would cinema get a figure so simplistic yet so genuinely larger-than-life.

RIP Sidney ❤️ What a legend.

2 of the best and most important actors EVER

To be the best you can Be, to do the best you can do. That's a great example to anyone persuit. Love and respect them both, for so many reasons beyond the statements.

the only individual that Ive ever seen Denzel Washington, truly revere and fawn over....RIP, Mr Poitier. You were one of the "kings" of film...

with what he has achieved and still keeping it humble thats a marvel especially in this context

The 2 men have so much in common, class, intelligence, charm, charisma, eloquence - of course, their natural gift for ... I was going to say acting but what they do on the screen is so much more than that.. they take the Art to another level, captivating and mesmerizing, demanding your full attention at all times. Nice to see their love and mutual respect .. sort of a passing of the torch. Sidney must be so proud that he has entrusted his love of his craft to someone like Denzel!

Sidney Poitier is an inspiration for any man who seeks wisdom. People blindly choose famous people in answer to "who would you meet and hang with for a day if you could?". I say "blindly" because most would choose issues of common habits or hot takes over issues of human enlightenment. Denzel would be a solid pick.

I can't choose a favorite of the movies Sidney Poitier has been in, because, I have loved every movie I've seen him in. That being said, when I saw him in " A Patch of Blue ", I felt something from his performance, and, from every performance of his to follow, that I have never felt from any other actor's performance. . . Thank you Sidney Poitier, for the enlightenment, and happiness your movies have brought me. I greatly admire you, and your work.

All the speeches from Denzal are so powerful...
