Denzel Washington felt "bitter" after losing out on two Best Actor Oscars and stopped voting for the Academy Awards as he indulged in a "pity party".
The 'Training Day' star won his first Oscar for 1989 drama 'Glory' in the Best Supporting Actor category but he went on to miss out on the Best Actor prize for 'Malcolm X' when he was pitched against 'Scent of a Woman' star Al Pacino in 1993 and he lost again in 2000 when he was nominated for 'Hurricane' and the top gong went to Kevin Spacey for 'American Beauty' - and Denzel admits it was a tough loss.
