Denzel Washington was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in Gladiator II but lost to Kieran Culkin. This marks the first time in a long list of nominations that Washington did not win.
Denzel Washington will not be adding another trophy to his mantel after the 2025 Golden Globe Awards .
Washington had some stiff competition in the category, with Anora’s Yura Borisov, A Complete Unknown’s Edward Norton, The Brutalist’s Guy Pearce and The Apprentice’s Jeremy Strong rounding out the list of nominees. Washington previously won Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Glory in 1990 and Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for The Hurricane in 2000. He racked up nine additional nominations in the latter category, 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.
Tom Hanks, his costar in Philadelphia, honored Washington at the time, describing him as “the actor of our generation” with a “legendary and noble” body of work.
