JAKARTA - The 93rd Academy Awards ceremony which took place on Sunday United States ended with the victory of Anthony Hopkins as Best Actor.

As the main character in the film The Father, Hopkins made history as the oldest actor to receive this award.

Unfortunately, the result of the victory drew some criticism from the public. First, the Best Actor announcement was given at the end of the Oscars. In fact, it is usually the Best Picture nominees that are read the last.

In addition, Hopkins was not seen at the event and was represented by nominated reader Joaquin Phoenix who received the award. Then, the event immediately ended with the credit appearing.

As a result, the Oscar closing ceremony was considered very awkward and did not reach the climax like the previous years.

It is not immediately clear why Hopkins did not come. Not a few predict that the late Chadwick Boseman will win this award. However, the answer surprised the audience.

This was Hopkins' win at the Oscars after his winning role as Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs. Last year, he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the film The Two Popes.

The Father tells of a man who has dementia who is helped by his son, played by Olivia Colman.
