Sir Anthony Hopkins is the oldest actor to win an acting Academy Award.
The 83-year-old took home the statue for best actor for his role in "The Father."
Hopkins win was considered a bit of an upset as the late Chadwick Boseman had been favored to take the category. Hopkins was not present during the programme to accept his award.
