Whose a better actor Denzel Washington or Russell Crowe?

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

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

Denzel kicks @$$

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.)

Denzel hands down.

I agree Denzel is good.

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

DW hands down.

Russell Crowe can't act.
