It's my opinion that "flight" was the best major motion pictures of 2012 and Denzel Washington did some of his best work in it ."Lincoln" was not a good film, I think DDL could have been a great Lincoln in another production, though. Denzel Washington, like "Sugar Ray Robinson" in the 50's, competed in a very strong era in cinema history. When he lost best actor to clint for "Unforgiven", for example. He would have been the absolute favorite over any actor in history that year, but Clint Eastwood made one of the best films of all time, and played the best part of his career... What do ya'll think about that observation?
