Denzel Washington won't add another trophy to my mantel after 2025 Golden Globe Awards.
The famous actor, 70, was nominated Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Any Motion Picture Gladiator II. He ended up not winning at the Sunday, January 5 ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Kieran Culkin received an award for his performance Real pain.
Washington had stiff competition in this category, with Anoras Yura Borisov, A complete unknowns Edward Norton, Brutalists Guy Pearce and Apprentices Jeremy Strong to round out the list of nominees.
Before this year's Golden Globes, Washington already had a long history with the awards. He is the most nominated black male actor of all time, with 11 nods during his decade-long career.
Washington previously won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture Fame in 1990 and the best performance by an actor in a motion picture ā a drama about Hurricane in 2000. In the latter category, he received nine additional nominations, including for Cry freedom in 1988, Malcolm X in 1993, Training day in 2002, American Gangster in 2008, Flight in 2013, Fences in 2017, Roman J. Israel, Esq. in 2018, The Tragedy of Macbeth in 2022 and Gladiator II in 2025.
Washington also received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment, at the 2016 Golden Globes.
Tom Hanks, his costar inside philadelphia, paid tribute to Washington at the time, describing him as “an actor of our generation” with a “legendary and noble” body of work.
āGreat cinema lasts forever, and a great actor will forever amaze us. Now these clips will remind us that one word can be a great synonym for extraordinary,ā said Hanks, introducing Washington. āOne word can define an artist who is the peer and equal of all the greatest legends of our craft. If Washington is not calling loudly enough, then let the word carry all the weight. And that name is Denzel.
At that time, Washington received the award with his wife, Pauletta Washingtonand three of the couple's children – son John David and daughters Katya and Olivia ā on stage next to him. (Son of the couple Malcolm was not present.)
After receiving a standing ovation, Denzel joked, “You really forget everything you're supposed to be doing (up here),” adding that he's out of the running for the honor.
