Director Denzel Dazzles
From Oscar winning actor to acclaimed director - where will he stop?The 17th Annual Cinematheque Awards, honouring Denzel Washington, were a glitzy affair.
The actor's accolade was in recognition of his recent venture behind the lens.
Washington has barely recovered from his success at last year's Oscars, and now he's celebrating the warm critical reception that his directorial debut, Antwone Fisher has received.
The film tells the story of a black sailor who has violent outbursts as a result of a deprived childhood.
