Fences doesn't translate to film as well as you expect. All the performances are spot on and I understand all the praise they have gotten but the film they are in gets a little too long and the dialogue gets a little to excessive. If Denzel wins Best Actor and Viola Davis wins Best Supporting Actress then it would be totally deserved. They carry the film and the film would be quite dull without them.

Why is it when Denzel is in a movie he NEVER disappoints. He is in a league of his own. Viola is quickly becoming the same.

It took nearly a decade for Denzel to direct another film and this time it sailed through the Oscars with four nominations and one won out of it. Yeah, it was Viola Davis, who snatched the most prestigious award for her supporting actress role. Original More
