Watch Anthony Hopkins in Wales, Thanking Someone for Being the Oldest Ever Actor to Win a BAFTA

Share

Sir Anthony Hopkins won the BAFTA yesterday for Best Actor in “The Father.” He’s the oldest ever BAFTA winner. Frankly, he deserves the Oscar. His performance in Florian Zeller’s adapted play into an excellent movie is the best of the year.

But Sir Tony for some reason didn’t show up for BAFTA even on Zoom. He didn’t show up for SAG or the Golden Globes either. Does he just not like Zoom? He likes social media, that’s for sure. Here he is this morning, from Wales.

Wales, you say? So he might not be back in Los Angeles for the Oscars. Hmmm…Someone on his team has to sort this out. What if he wins the Oscar and he’s a no show there, too? Not good.
