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.

The Academy Award producers weren’t joking around when they said Zooming into the ceremony wouldn’t be allowed.

Anthony Hopkins woke up on Monday a double Oscar winner, a surprise to many, including the Welsh actor himself. In a brief video posted to his Instagram, The Father star, who is currently in his native Wales, acknowledged his win and gave the acceptance speech he wasn't able to on Sunday evening and he made a point of paying tribute to fellow best actor nominee, the late Chadwick Boseman.

An award season like no other has finally come to a close with the 93rd Academy Awards rolling up the virtual red carpet on a year of movie-watching at home. Today, a new crop of winners — Daniel Kaluuya, Anthony Hopkins, Frances McDormand, Yuh-jung Youn — are basking in Oscar’s glow, getting ready to tackle their first post-win projects.

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.

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.

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 93rd Academy Awards were held on April 25, 2021, and as always, it was a star-studded evening. Despite going through several changes this year owing to the pandemic, the prestigious ceremony was held with equal fervour as they celebrated the best of cinema.

It seems odd to call Anthony Hopkins’ Best Actor victory at the 2021 Oscars a surprise, but his triumph Sunday might have been the night’s biggest upset. A Best Actor trophy for Chadwick Boseman’s electric performance in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom seemed a foregone conclusion after Boseman, who died tragically last year at 43, won at the Critics Choice Awards, SAG and the Golden Globes Awards.
