Despite the record win, Hopkins was not present Sunday night to accept the award and delivered his acceptance speech from his home in Wales the following morning where he honored the late-actor Chadwick Boseman, who was the expected winner for his role in \u201cMa Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hopkins posted an acceptance speech on social media, saying, \u201cGood morning. Here I am in my homeland in Wales and at 83-years-of-age I did not expect to get this award. I really didn\u2019t. Very grateful to the Academy and thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman who was taken from us far too early,\u201d Hopkins added.\u00a0\u201cAgain, thank you all very much. I really did not expect this, so I feel very privileged and honored. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many celebrities and commentators were not happy about the outcome, feeling that Boseman was slighted and should have won for the last role he played before he passed away.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Some even <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheJessieWoo\/status\/1386520685833605125?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1386520685833605125%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fanthony-hopkins-defies-ageism-by-becoming-oldest-oscar-winner-in-history\">said<\/a> it was a \u201cracist\u201d ending to the show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Oscars award show aired Sunday night and hit a new record for fewest viewers to tune into the program. The show included various speeches by Hollywood elite that referenced the highly anticipated trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and criticized members of law enforcement.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-oscar-winner-slams-police\">Travon Free<\/a><\/span>, writer of the Oscar-Winning Best Live Action Short Film, said, \u201cToday, the police will kill three people. And tomorrow the police will kill three people. And the day after that the police will kill three people because on average every day in America the police will kill three people, which amounts to about 1,000 people a year. And those people happen to be disproportionately black people. And, y\u2019know, James Baldwin once said, \u2018The most despicable thing a person can be is indifferent to other people\u2019s pain.\u2019 And so I just ask that you please not be indifferent, please, don\u2019t be indifferent to our pain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt has been quite a year,\u201d actress Regina King <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oscar-host-opens-show-saying-if-chauvin-verdict-had-gone-differently-i-may-have-traded-in-my-heels-for-marching-boots\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAnd we are smack dab in the middle of it. We are mourning the loss of so many, and I have to be honest: If things had gone differently this past week in Minneapolis, I may have traded in my heels for marching boots. Now, I know that a lot of you people at home would reach for your remote when you feel like Hollywood is preaching to you, but as a mother of a black son, I know the fear that so many live with and no amount of fame and fortune changes that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The show has become increasingly less popular in recent years. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oscars-ratings-crumble-nearly-60-to-record-low-as-stars-bash-law-enforcement\"><span class=\"s1\">The Daily Wire<\/span><\/a> reported, \u201cThe number of total viewers dropped roughly 58% year-over-year from the then-record low in 2020, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewrap.com\/oscars-ratings-2021-academy-awards-viewership-record-low\/\"><span class=\"s1\">The Wrap<\/span><\/a>. The number of total viewers plummeted from 23.6 million total viewers in 2020 to just 9.85 million total viewers on Sunday night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/04\/2021-0scars-tv-ratings-academy-awards-low-abc-disney-1234744135\/\">Deadline<\/a> reported Tuesday that the final viewership numbers for the 2021 Oscars were 10.4 million, still a significant drop from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
