London:
The Hurricane star DenzelWashington says he rarely likes the scripts he is sent.
The 57-year-old actor, who also directs and producesfilms, said he is a "logic monster" and has to run through hisparts with his movie colleagues before he is happy with them,reported Contactmusic.
"Nine times out of nine the script is not there to myliking. And I'm a logic monster. If things don't make sense, Igotta make sense out of them, and you get into the process,"he said.
Washington has won two Oscars during his career and healso said that it may have made those who vote at the AcademyAwards more aware of what other African-American actors weredoing in their careers.
"You have to have a part to play, first, that's thebottom line. You don't get nominated unless you have a greatrole to play and you interpret the role well. So maybe itshifted voters' attention to what certain African-Americanswere doing. What Jamie Foxx did in Ray was phenomenal, itcouldn't be denied," he said.
"Jamie was almost a phenomenon, he was Ray. The fact thatI'd won a couple of years earlier, maybe that did help forwhite voters to say, 'Hey, look at Jamie Foxx over here,' whenthey may not have prior to that. I don't know. But maybe,maybe," he added.
