Last night, Denzel Washington received his AFI Life Achievement Award. Well deserved, and honestly, a bit too late. They’ve given some AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards out to people who haven’t done even half of what Denzel has done, but I guess that’s a conversation for another time. Anyway, I just enjoyed these photos of Denzel with his family – his wife Pauletta, his son Malcolm and daughter Katia were there, but I didn’t see John David – and I enjoyed seeing all of the people who came out to celebrate Denzel and his outstanding career.
Spike was there! Spike is the Martin Scorsese to Denzel’s DeNiro.
Paula Patton was there and I honestly didn’t even recognize her.
Issa Rae looked like a princess!
Chadwick Boseman still looks so thin, I hope this is all just for a role, but even then, it’s going to Christian Bale-esque extremes.
Ava DuVernay looked amazing but I can’t figure out her coatdress.
Michael B. Jordan, y’all.

It’s about time. It’s nice when someone is still alive to receive the award.
He’s so amazing; I’m so glad he was recognized and honored! I don’t think there’s any role he hasn’t been great in. My hubby is very picky, but he said if Denzel is in a movie, he’ll go see it!
Is he on good terms with John David?
I think John David is in Miami finishing up Ballers.
And Olivia is not there either.
I honestly thought this came and went for Denzel.
Huh.
And their children are so freaking beautiful. All of them are mini Pauletta’s.
His wife is pretty funny as landlord on weed in She’s gotta have it.. very good singer too
I was visiting Hollywood last nite and got a chance to catch all the stars there ! Denzel looks good
Have loved since “Glory”.
Recently saw him in “Roman J. Israel, Esq.”. The movie itself could have been better but his performance is flawless, brilliant even — I was honestly moved by it.
Let me check if he was nominated for it.
Yup, he was (nominated for as Oscar). Lost to Gary Oldman’s makeup team.
P.S.: Typo — I meant “Have loved him since ‘Glory'”.
