The two-time Oscar winner, who beat out fellow nomineesRiz Ahmed(Sound of Metal),Chadwick Boseman(Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom),Gary Oldman(Mank), andSteven Yeun(Minari), had recently returned to his native Wales.
“After a year in quarantine, and being double-vaccinated, he was finally able to return to Wales, and age 83, it was a great relief after such a difficult year,” said Barber. “But he loved the role inThe Father– it’s his proudest performance – and to be the oldest living actor to win in the category means so much to him.”
PresenterJoaquin Phoenix, who won the category last year for his performance inJoker, accepted the award on Hopkins' behalf.
