Denzel Washington Wins Golden Camera Award in Germany #movies #Europe #safehouse

Congratulations to actor Denzel Washington, who just won the Golden Camera Award for “Best International Actor.” The award ceremony was held in Berlin, yesterday, and gives us another reminder of how Washington’s body of work is as much, if not more valued overseas as it is here in the United States.

The Golden Camera is the most prestigious film award in Germany, according to The Washington Post. Denzel Washington’s honor as the Best International Actor also comes at a fitting time since he is now the successor to Ron Weasley on the King Dong throne for the month of February.

Here is what the Golden Camera Award’s panel of judges had to say about the fine actor:

“Denzel Washington is an exceptionally expressive actor. He exudes natural authority and is therefore so credible in his roles as a leader. He often presents an intact system of values to the audience, and in doing so, becomes a model and archetype of ethical principles. At the same time, his extraordinary versatility enables him to master a wide range of roles. This versatility can be admired in his current production "Safe House", where he plays a fugitive criminal.”

What a way for Washington to start off his 2012 February King Dong month with a bang!

Denzel Washington also stars in the upcoming movie “Safe House,” opposite Ryan Reynolds, which is due to hit theaters on February 10th.

Do YOU agree that Denzel Washington has international appeal?
