Anthony Hopkins, Frances McDormand and Chloe Zhao were among the big winners at the 93rd Academy Awards, a second ceremony where the usual spectacle has been disrupted by pandemic considerations. Usually, the Best Picture category ends the ceremony. This year, though, Best Actor came last - presumably because even the Oscars' producers thought Chadwick Boseman was going to win posthumously for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Instead, Anthony Hopkins, off the back of his surprise Baftas win for his role in The Father, won over Boseman. Anthony Hopkin’s performance was wonderful, but the Oscar’s used Chadwick’s legacy & name only to not honor him in their program.
