Denzel Washington has nine Academy Award nominations under his belt and is a two-time Oscar winner for his performances in the movies `Glory` and `Training Day`. However, the actor places no value on such career milestones, reported Variety.
While speaking to "Jake`s Takes" on his "Highest 2 Lowest" press tour, as quoted by Variety, Washington said no acting decision he makes in his career has to do with winning awards, including Oscars.
"I don`t do it for Oscars. I don`t care about that kind of stuff. I`ve been at this a long time, and there`s time when I won and shouldn`t have won and then didn`t win and should`ve won. Man gives the award. God gives the reward," said Washington as quoted by Variety.
