Ethan Hawke opened up about losing the Oscar for his role in Training Day and what Denzel Washington told him following his loss.
Hawke said that Denzel told him that night, “You don’t want an award to improve your status. You want to improve the award’s status.”
He continued, “That’s the way he thinks. The Academy Award has more power, because Denzel has a couple. It didn’t elevate who he was.”
