Oscar win via Zoom, but the Academy refused.The actor won the award for Best Actor at the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday (April 25), and was singled out as one of the only winners who was not present in Los Angeles or at one of the Oscars hubs around the world.Hopkins’ absence was particularly notable as the award for Best Actor was presented last (where usually it would be the award for Best Picture) and many said the night ended on an “anti-climactic” note.A new report in the New York Times
TMZ, Derrick Boseman said his brother would have been the first to wish Hopkins the best following his Sunday night win. The late actor would have seen winning an Oscar as an achievement but never an “obsession” said Boseman, adding that he felt all the shortlisted actors were worthy of the award.
Anthony Hopkins has released a belated acceptance speech after winning the Oscar for Best Actor. Hopkins was the recipient of the prize last night (25 April), which he won for his performance in The Father.
An executive at ABC is speaking out about the controversial ending to the 2021 Oscars, which included not only ending on Best Actor, and not Best Picture, as has been tradition, but also, not giving the award to Chadwick Boseman in what was built up to be a climactic moment.
Oscars upsets are always divisive, but a LOT of people took this one personally.
Anthony Hopkins shared a video message thanking The Academy for his Oscar win on Sunday in which he paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. Many who viewed the 93rd Academy Awards were upset that the show broke from its usual format of announcing the best picture winner last, replacing it with the award for best actor. It led some to believe it was a signal that a posthumous award would be given to the late "Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom" star, who died in August at age 43.
In a surprise win, Anthony Hopkins took home the best actor statue at the Oscars on Sunday for his work in The Father. Going into the ceremony, the late Chadwick Boseman was the heavy favorite to win for his final film role asLevee inMa Rainey's Black Bottom.
Unlike the rest of the world tuning in to watch Hollywood's biggest night, Anthony Hopkins was sound "asleep" and had no idea when Joaquin Phoenix announced that he had won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for The Father at Oscars 2021.
Anthony Hopkins paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman in his first reaction to his triumph at the Academy Awards last night, his second Oscar win and first since his performance in 1992 pic The Silence Of The Lambs.
Do not go gentle into that good night' at the grave of his own father Richard Hopkins in Wales. The Silence of the Lambs star, who normally resides in Malibu, returned to Wales before the Bafta awards ceremony earlier this month and won the best actor award at that ceremony too.
Road movie Nomadland won the top prize at the Oscars, where director Chloe Zhao made history as the first woman of colour to win the award. The ceremony also saw Sir Anthony Hopkins win the best actor Oscar, defeating the late Chadwick Boseman, while Daniel Kaluuya won the best supporting actor prize.
Nomadland was named best picture at the 2021 Oscars on Sunday. "We thank the Academy, and we thank our brilliant fellow nominees," said director and producer Chloé Zhao as she stepped up to the podium with producersMollye Asher, Dan Janvey, Frances McDormand and Peter Spears.
Many film fans were left disappointed on Sunday night as the late Chadwick Boseman was snubbed for the Best Actor gong at The Oscars despite being the hot favourite to pick up the award posthumously. Chadwick, who tragically passed away at the age of 43 after a battle with colon cancer in August 2020, was nominated for the award for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
The Oscars 2021 has come to an end and brought with it an exhilarating set of winners. In a stark contrast to the annual award show, this year the scaled-down Oscars 2021 stood out on many levels.
