    Though he was not available to give a live acceptance speech on April 25 night, ‘The Father’ star has since expressed his gratitude for the Best Actor honor through a recorded video.

    Apr 27, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Anthony Hopkins has broken his silence following his shock Oscar win to heap praise on fellow nominee Chadwick Boseman.

    “The Silence of the Lambs” star was asleep in his native Wales when he was named Best Actor for his role in “The Father” in the final category of Sunday, April 25’s hybrid prizegiving from Union Station in Los Angeles and was not available to give a live acceptance speech.

    His publicist thanked the Academy on his famous client’s behalf on Monday, and now Hopkins has responded in a video posted to his Instagram page.

    “Here I am in my homeland in Wales,” he began. “At 83 years of age, I did not expect to get this award, I really didn’t. I’m very grateful to the Academy. Thank you.”

    “I want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who was taken from us far too early. Again, thank you all very much. I really did not expect this, I feel very privileged and honored, thank you.”

    In his Instagram post, he also thanked Sony Pictures Classics, director Florian Zeller, and “my wife and family,” among others.

    It was Hopkins’ second Oscar win – he also won gold for his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in 1992’s “The Silence of the Lambs”.

    Upon waking to discover he was a 2021 Oscar winner, Hopkins also called “The Father” director Florian Zeller while he was appearing on BBC Radio 4 to discuss the film’s success at the Academy Awards – the filmmaker took home the Best Adapted Screenplay gong for the script he co-wrote with Christopher Hampton.

    Meanwhile, his win put Hopkins into the record books by becoming the oldest actor to win the Oscar, passing the late Christopher Plummer, who was 82 when he won gold for “Beginners” in 2011.

      Fans Enraged Over Chadwick Boseman's Upset Loss at 2021 Oscars

      by

      Netflix

      The late actor was widely expected to win Best Actor at the 93rd annual Academy Awards for his role in ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’, but Anthony Hopkins nabbed the prize instead.

      Apr 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      While Oscar winners may be currently celebrating their victories, some viewers have been left disappointed with the result, particularly the Best Actor win, after watching the Sunday, April 25 live telecast. Leading to the 93rd annual Academy Awards, Chadwick Boseman was widely expected to win in the category following his wins at other major awards, including Golden Globe Awards and SAG Awards, but that didn’t happen tonight.

      Instead, in a surprising twist, Anthony Hopkins nabbed the Best Actor award for his role in “The Father”. While it doesn’t necessarily mean that the veteran actor’s acting was bad in the said movie, the late star’s fans felt like he was being robbed of his supposed first posthumous Oscar.

      Taken aback by the Best Actor win which was announced the last at the televised event, one Twitter user wrote, “anthony was phenomenal. good for him truly. but how are you gonna 1) speed the absolute f**k out of the in memoriam segment and 2) switch up the order of the awards to make your audience think you’re gonna give chadwick some sort of tribute and then just……. not. feels cruel.”

      Another echoed the sentiment, “them pushing best actor till the end just for chadwick not to win was very f**ked up and it feels like they exploited his death for views.” A third sarcastically remarked, “ok rearranging the categories for the first time ever trying to end on best actor in order to honor chadwick and then instead giving the award to hopkins who isn’t even there… actually a really good bit, bravo.”

      Another disappointed fan simply exclaimed, “OMG, Chadwick should have won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Taking issue with the last few last minutes of the show, someone complained, “An absent Anthony Hopkins winning over Chadwick Boseman during a ceremony built to end around a Boseman win while Joaquin Phoenix awkwardly stumbles through it all is…wow. Chaos!”

        See also…

      “I might be howling at the wind like Frances McDormand but that was the worst possible way to end this broadcast…,” a sixth user wrote. Another baffled viewer tweeted, “Sorry… what just happened? That has got to be the most shocking last 10 minutes of an Oscars EVER.”

      Not everyone was upset by Boseman’s loss though. Hopkins’ fans thought that his Oscar win was well-deserved, with one pointing out, “anyone who knows someone suffering from dementia will understand just how good Anthony Hopkins performance was. This is his greatest ever acting without doubt.”

      “I saw all the best picture nominees and all the films for best actor and actress. So sad that Chadwick died, but Anthony Hopkins fully deserved his Oscar,” another noted. Someone else added, “Yeah! Anthony Hopkins was fantastic in The Father. Well deserved!”

      The Academy has not responded to the criticism over Boseman’s upset loss. Meanwhile, the Sunday night show celebrated the “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” star during an In Memoriam tribute, which was opened by Angela Bassett. Stevie Wonder’s “As” was played as a montage of late actors and filmmakers like Cicely Tyson, Sean Connery, Kelly Preston and Christopher Plummer was seen on the screen.

      Ryan Coogler Finds It Incredibly Hard to Make 'Black Panther 2' Without Chadwick Boseman

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Creed’ directors says developing the sequel to ‘Black Panther’ without the late T’Challa depicter is ‘the hardest thing’ he’s had to do as he returns behind the lens for the second installment.

      Mar 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Ryan Coogler has admitted making the “Black Panther” sequel without Chadwick Boseman is the “hardest thing.”
      The 34-year-old director is working on a follow-up to the 2018 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film but admits that he is still trying to come to terms with the loss of lead actor Chadwick, who passed away last August aged 43 after a private cancer battle.
      Ryan said, “I’m still currently going through it.”
      “One thing that I’ve learned in my short time on this Earth is that it’s very difficult to have perspective on something while you’re going through it. This is one of the more profound things that I’ve gone through in my life, having to be a part of keeping this project going without this particular person who is like the glue who held it together.”
      The “Creed” filmmaker explained that he has been trying to find a “balance” between his personal and professional life since Chadwick’s passing.

      Ryan told the “Jemele Hill Is Unbothered” podcast, “That said, you have a professional life, you’ve got a personal life. Personal life, I’m going to say when you work in something that you love, those things blend, they come together.”
      “I’m trying to find a work-life balance. But I’m not there yet, so this is without question the hardest thing I’ve had to do in my professional life.”
      Ryan explained that, while the loss of Chadwick “stings,” it has left him “incredibly motivated” that he got to spend time with the “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” star.
      He said, “This one hurts and stings, but it’s also incredibly motivating.”
      “I’m incredibly sad to lose him but I’m also incredibly motivated that I got to spend time with him. You spend your life hearing about people like him. For this individual, who is an ancestor now, I was there for it. It’s such an incredible privilege that fills you up as much as it knocks you out.”

      Chadwick Boseman Sobbed Filming 'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' His GF Had to Pick Him Up

      by

      Netflix

      Director George C. Wolfe recalls the late actor’s emotional moment when he filmed a poignant scene on the set of the Netflix movie, calling it ‘raw and explosive.’

      Dec 8, 2020
      AceShowbiz – It’s no question that Chadwick Boseman always gave his best for every role he played. One of his last projects that was lucky enough to have the dedicated actor’s contribution is “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, which eventually became his final film.
      Ahead of the film’s release later this month, the film’s director George C. Wolfe has shared one of his most memorable moments working with the late star. In a new interview with WSJ Magazine, he recalled Chadwick’s emotional moment when he filmed a poignant scene featuring his character Leeve and Cutler (Colman Domingo).
      In the said scene, Leeve got into a physical altercation with Cutler over the latter’s belief in God. The scene ends with Leeve’s monologue during which he look up to the skies and challenge “Cutler’s God,” according to the magazine.
      Wolfe admitted he didn’t think Boseman would attempt in one take. “We were doing it in a very casual way, and I assumed that when Levee got to the big speech that Chadwick was going to stop. But he didn’t stop,” he recounted.

        See also…

      The filmmaker then dished on how Boseman kept getting emotional even after the camera stopped rolling, “He kept going, and Levee took over-it was raw and explosive.” He went on remembering, “Afterwards, Chadwick just started to sob, and Colman hugged him, and then Chadwick’s girlfriend basically picked him up.”
      While Wolfe didn’t know about Boseman’s battle with colon cancer at the time, the actor confided to him about keeping a big secret and the director found the actor’s comments making more sense in retrospect now. “He talked to me about having a secret, and how intense it is to reveal a secret to someone else, how vulnerable that makes you feel,” the director said.
      Boseman’s co-star Domingo, meanwhile, remembered how Boseman would often seem preoccupied on set. “I could tell with Chad sometimes, he had something on his mind. He’d walk into a room and he wouldn’t speak to anyone,” the “Fear the Walking Dead” star shared.
      He then would break the ice by jokingly confronting the “Black Panther” actor, “Oh, you’re just not going to say hi to anybody?” Domingo said Boseman responded by smiling, and he would shake Domingo’s hand and give him a hug every day on set since then.
      “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”, which stars Viola Davis in the lead role, will be available to stream on Netflix beginning December 18.

      'Black Panther' Gets New Opening Credits in Honor of Chadwick Boseman's Birthday

      by

      Walt Disney Pictures

      To celebrate what would have been the T’Challa depicter’s 44th birthday, Marvel Studios unveils a new intro graphic on the Disney+ streaming version of ‘Black Panther’.

      Nov 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Marvel Studios has paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman on what would have been his 44th birthday. The studio has unveiled new opening credits for the late actor’s movie “Black Panther” on the Disney+ streaming version.
      In place of the usual opening logo sequence showing characters from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the new intro graphic displays photos and footage of Boseman in “Black Panther” as well as behind-the-scenes moments of the late actor.
      There are also glimpses of screenplay featuring T’Challa’s dialogs, including his famous line “Wakanda Forever” and his message which reads, “In times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers.” The opening credits end with Marvel Studios logo with new purple backdrop instead of red. “Black Panther” rolled out a purple carpet in lieu of a red one for its world premiere in 2018.

      Disney chairman Bob Iger teased the tribute on Twitter, writing, “To all fans of #BlackPanther: watch the film on #DisneyPlus late tonight, for a special tribute to someone that was and will always be near and dear to our hearts.”
