    No other actor can do what Denzel Washington does in Malcolm X. People who claim Denzel is anything less than one of the finest actors ever are just plain ridiculous.

    There are few things we’ve learned about ‘Raging Bull’ directed by Martin Scorsese:
    - Toxic Masculinity.
    - Insecurity.
    - Ephebophilia.
    - Domestic violence.
    ‘Raging Bull’ is still one of my top 5 favorite Martin Scorsese movies of all time.

    No doubts about any of these tho I would say there are some snubs and ill also say Lawrence of Arabia is a stretch but due to the script not the acting.
    Here are some snubs.
    Zac Efron - Kevin Von Erich - The iron claw while there were historical issues with side characters (omitting the controversy regarding David's death, completely leaving our Chris Von Erich) Kevin as the reserved conflicted but determined rock (and sole survivor) of the family has been praised by wrestling historians as factual and well portrayed by the former teen heartthrob
    Paul Dano - pet sounds era Brian Wilson - Love and Mercy while John Cusak's portrayal of 80s Brian has been criticized namely as being told thru the lens of Brian's late Wife Melinda Paul Dano as young Brian has been lauded for capturing both the genius and mental health decline of Brian Wilson over a short time and capturing him as a producer not just part of the beach Boys or as a bombed out madman.
    Helen Mirren - Queen Elizabeth II - the queen yes a narrow script but down to the animal love and her wwII taught prowess in auto repair were treated with the same weight even if the script was narrow and limiting
    George C Scott - George Patton - Patton. Great detail in the general's philosophy not just his accomplishments if anything he wasn't firey enough
    Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon- Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash - Walk The Line dual effort but the complexity of their budding relationship was clear and captured two music legends as humans especially in reaction to Johnny's addiction
    Gary Cooper - Lou Gherig- Pride of the Yankees Golden age of Hollywood censored hays code stuff but the baseball scenes are incredibly advanced and also for its day captured lou gherig better than later less restricted attempts
    David Strathihan - Edward R Murrow- Good Night and Good Luck. Low key but captured both Murrow's fantasy of an ideal educational television medium and his cynicism and disappointment at its reality
    Meryl Streep - Julia Child - Julie and Julia while it was only half the film the idea to use the actual memoir of Julia Child to bracket an otherwise forgettable rom com was a genius stroke and played to the hilt right down to Julia's distinctive speech pattern, awkward posture and cumbersome height.
