Denzel any day of the week.

Russell Crowe can't act.

DW hands down.

Denzel, hands down. Russell Crowe can't even act his way out of DUIs and drunken brawls.

Denzel kicks @$$

Mr. Washington, of course. And he certainly has more screen presence.

My cousin was in "The Great Debators" so I say Denzel

denzel....
watch JOHN Q and you will agree with me

I agree Denzel is good.

Denzel hands down.

It is impossible to pick who is a better actor, because it depends on the script, the director, the editing, the size of the audience in the theatre, etc, etc. The whole idea of chosing a best actor is ridiculous since they are working with all those variables. You can only judge the quality of an actor in a particular role,if you know what the criteria of good acting are. I would be willing to bet that you do not. (And, yes, I think the Academy Awards are an artificial publicity stunt designed to sell tickets to movies.)
