Getting his Award from Morgan Freeman is a bigger award to Denzel Washington than the award itself.

I like most about Denzel is his cadence, the way he delivers his lines is his own, like Sean Connery and James Earl Jones, Tom Hanks, Sidney Poitier, and my man Morgan Freeman, there's somethin about their cadences that's commanding and unforgettable.....Denzel is one of the greats, he deserves this prestigious award....

Denzel Washington is all one could ever hope to be. He is his Own Man. He doesn't let ANYONE tell him what to THINK, SAY or ACT. Denzel Washington, is the epitome of what I would want my child to grow-up to be. NOT an actor, although I can't think of one movie he has ever done that he didn't give his all to play. But, what I am talking about is his character. His character, honor, beliefs, his being is an inspiration to All. I wish there were MORE people in the world like him. Thank you Denzel for everything you have give to us.
One of my favorite actor denzel Washington..
From Australia, a highly talented and much admired actor who tells it like it is. Rare in Hollywood.
Two of my favorite actors. They’ve always showed so much class and never defiled their own names.
I remember the first time I saw him with George Segal in a campy comedy call "Carbon Copy ". I knew then this man would be great.

Two such talented, classy gentlemen with obvious respect and admiration for each other. Any young actor starting their career could do no better than to study the craft and ability of these men on stage & screen, and emulate their personal conduct off stage & screen.
Now that's a respectful man speech a legend actor to talented one
Two legendary actors..
Denzel and Morgan are among the most loved.Don't know anyone who don't like them
I remember first seeing Morgan Freeman as a regular in, "The Electric Company" , a children's show I use to watch with my kids after school and Denzel Washington in the television series, "St Elsewhere". Later I saw Mr Freeman in the 1st movie I would see him in called, "Johnny Handsome". They stood out but I had no idea of the greatness they would grow into. How fitting one should honor the other at such a prestigious event, so many years later.
all the actors are wonderful people, the world needs them
The humility in Denzel's eyes is everything
Two great men!
