Denzel Washington, who has two Academy Awards to his name, recently said in an interview that he is "not that interested in" receiving the prestigious awards.

“I don’t care who’s following who,” he said. “You can’t lead and follow at the same time, and you can’t follow and lead at the same time. I don’t follow anybody. I follow the heavenly spirit. I follow God, I don’t follow man. I have faith in God. I have hope in man, but look around, it ain’t working out so well.”

"I’ve been at this a long time, and there’s times when I’ve won, shouldn’t have won, didn’t win, should have won," Washington said during an interview with Jake's Takes. "Man gives the award, God gives the reward. I’m not that interested in Oscars."
