OSCARS: Anthony Hopkins is oldest actor to win Best Actor at 83 (See complete list of winners)

Welsh actor, Anthony Hopkins clinched the Best Actor honor at Sunday’s Academy Awards for his starring role in The Father.

The 83-year-old made history with his second Oscar victory, becoming the oldest star to win an Academy Award for Best Actor award after becoming the oldest Best Actor nominee when the 2021 Oscar nominations were announced in March.

He beat fellow nominees Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), Gary Oldman (Mank), and Steven Yeun (Minari).

Presenter Joaquin Phoneix, who won the category last year for his performance in Joker, accepted the award on an absent Hopkins’ behalf.

Anthony Hopkins won his first at the 64th Academy Awards, earning the Best Actor award for his iconic performance as an expert psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the 1992 psychological thriller The Silence of the Lambs.

The annual movie award ceremony was broadcast from two locations in Los Angeles: The Dolby Theatre and Union Station.

There was no anchor to officiate the event; making it the third consecutive year that Oscars will be without an anchor, following Kevin Hart’s homophobic comments a couple of years ago.

David Fincher’s Netflix film Mank led the nominations with 10 in total, while The Father, Judas And The Black Messiah, Minari, Nomadland, South Of Metal, and The Trial Of The Chicago 7 all followed with six nods apiece.

The big winner on the night was Nomadland, which won three prizes in Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress for Frances McDormand.

Six films managed two awards, with The Father, Mank, Sound of Metal, Soul, Judas and the Black Messiah all managing a pair of prizes.
