Anthony Hopkins wins best actor for ‘The Father’

Anthony Hopkins becomes the oldest actor to win the best actor Academy Award on Sunday night.

At the age of 83, Anthony Hopkins bags the statue for best actor for his role in ‘The Father’.

His best actor victory at Sunday’s Oscars was a big surprise for all the spectators.

Hopkins win was considered a bit of an upset as the best actor award had been widely expected to go to Chadwick Boseman for his final performance in ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’.

This is the second Oscar for Anthony Hopkins. He previously won for his iconic turn in ‘The Silence of the Lambs’.
