Beforehand Chloe Zhou's Nomadland won Best Director and Best Picture with Mank also winning two out of 10 total nominations. And this overshadows the fact that both Anthony Hopkins and Chadwick Boseman were brilliant and one of them had to win. While a further viewer tweeted: "They build the entire show around a Chadwick Boseman ending and then Anthony Hopkins won and didn't show up." Anthony Hopkins was a no show and Frances McDormand never really campaigned, clearly she didn’t have to. just wasted 2hrs of my life watching the oscars just to see Viola Davis AND Chadwick Boseman be robbed."
