best actor went to sir anthony hopkins. now, i'm welsh and biased, i think anthony hopkins should win every year whether he's in a film or not. what did you make of his performance? i think the father's and i think he paired with olivia is some of the best very intimate and small screen acting we've seen this year, or memorably, the past several years. i know that notjust in the uk but here in america, he has a very loyal contingent of people who'd like to see him awarded for this performance and for his incredible career. but perhaps a bit of a surprise for us states—side tonight because the late chadwick boseman has been sweeping up awards for ma rainey�*s black bottom, so it's nice to see anthony get his due. thanks to matt donnolly. japan's hideki matsuyama has won this years masters title and in doing so has become the first male player from an asian country to win one of golf's coveted major titles. heading into the final day with a four shot lead he survived a couple of scares to win by one shot. although this is

look at in the best actor - category for sir anthony hopkins. he is the star at the age of 83, the eldest contender ever in the acting category and he is potentially going to win for his performance in the father i'm a really tough movie to watch and i think it resonates with a lot of people going to very similar things with a member of the family suffering from dementia gradually losing their memory. and dealing with that situation late in life and it really is a gripping performance by sir anthony hopkins who of course has also won an oscar before quite a few years ago for to silence of the lands. hat before quite a few years ago for to silence of the lands.— silence of the lands. not without its challenges, _ silence of the lands. not without its challenges, a _ silence of the lands. not without its challenges, a bit _ silence of the lands. not without its challenges, a bit of _ silence of the lands. not without its challenges, a bit of an - its challenges, a bit of an understatement to hosting a ceremony like this in a pandemic after a yea

a damp squid especially because anthony hopkins wasn't able to actually attend the oscars so it sort of ended on a bit of a down note so this is an event that's previously been criticized for being too white i didn't see much of a change. oh yeah i think so i mean you had best picture and best director going to be the 1st woman of color to win either of those awards we saw 2 actors of color. in the acting categories and even in this some of the technical categories we had a pioneers with best sound best makeup going to people of color i think it shows that the movement that started back in 2016 the oscars tries to diversify the academy awards is really bearing fruit but that said still the majority of people who won at the oscars were still as always white men good night for women last night. very much so i mean as i say she was the 1st asian woman to win best director a 2nd woman overall to win best director and she won it for a very female centric film the a no man's land is really almost a female framing of the road movie or the american west or also another british a later emeral

end up being a bit of a damp squid especially since anthony hopkins wasn't even there to accept his prize so in the process. as we all remember have been heavily criticized of being too whites that changed now for good. well it's changed a bit i mean we saw that chloe as you said is the 1st asian woman to win a best picture and to win best director we saw 2 actors of color in the among the winners and some people of color in the technical awards which has never happened before but let's put this in perspective of the around 40 people who won oscars this year 25 of them were still white men so i think there's still a long way to go. and to my next question how did women do across the board. yes very well i mean chloe was the only the 2nd woman to win best picture and best director and i think you did it with a film that is very female centric which i think is interesting and also. finale who won best original screenplay for promising young woman again this is a very female centric story and i think that's the interesting thing that's changed with the oscars not only that women direct

yes as much as i love sir anthony hopkins he was a surprise when you're sure i think many people thought that the late chat with bozeman would take home the best actor trophy because people were hoping that his widow would be able to speak and you know commemorate him because he wasn't really praise as much when he was alive and that was not the case particularly at the end of the shell they normally give away the best picture statute not this year they saved it and presented the best actor trophy and unfortunately sir anthony hopkins was not there and now i'm learning a day later what i'm hearing now is that there were reports that he would have loved to have done the acceptance speech the assume but the producer said no to that so he doesn't want any xoom people yes they said no to that so it was interesting all of the things going on behind the scenes you know you and i have talked over the years about this criticism of the oscars for being too white not being diverse diverse enough did we see much of a change this time this year. yes i think there was a lot of change this year i thin

yes as much as i love sir anthony hopkins he was a surprise when you're sure i think many people thought that the late chat with bozeman would take home the best actor trophy because people were hoping that his widow would be able to speak and you know commemorate him because he wasn't really praised as much when he was alive and that was not the case particularly at the end of the shell they normally give away the best picture statues not this year they saved it and presented the best actor trophy and unfortunately sir anthony hopkins was not here and now i'm learning a day later what i'm hearing now is that there were reports that he would have loved to have done the acceptance speech the assume but the producer said no to that so he doesn't want any xoom people yes they said no to that so it was interesting all of the things going on behind the scenes you know you and i have talked over the years about this criticism of the oscars for being too white not being diverse diverse enough did we see much of a change this time this year. yes i think there was a lot of change this year i thin
