Neither Hopkins nor McDormand had won at any of the televised U.S. awards shows, with the Lead Actor In a Motion Picture category completely dominated by Chadwick Boseman throughout awards season. In fact that may have been the impetus behind the category change, which was kept quiet inside Oscar circles — a posthumous Boseman win to cap the night would have been fitting after his death in August from cancer at just 43.
Instead, after McDormand offered the night’s shortest acceptance speech for her third Best Actress Oscar , Phoenix was left holding the night’s final trophy with Hopkins somewhere in Wales where he reportedly is on vacation. Tonight’s wins for both Hopkins and McDormand matched the BAFTAs, the only major Oscar precursor that that combo as lead actor winners.After taking home Song Of The Year For “I Can’t Breathe” at the Grammy Awards, the fast-rising music star pulled off another major win over serious competition. Most pundits had Leslie Odom, Jr.
Even though I thought the show was boring, unimaginative, humourless and not a lot of fun, I can't say I was disappointed with the winners in the acting categories. Sometimes it seems there are bad choices to complain about but this year I think they were right.
