Acting Oscars?

Right, a follow up to yesterday’s post about Training Day and the Oscar nominations for Denzel Washington as Best Actor and Ethan Hawke as Best Supporting Actor. What’s the difference? In this case I can’t see one at all. I would have said Ethan Hawke had more screen time and that the movie was actually about his character. At the very least they had equal screen time and both their characters told their stories. I don’t get it.
