Anthony Hopkins (who hasn't shown up to a ceremony in like 10 years) wins Best Actor. A nice "thank you" to cap off his career.
Would Boseman have shown up?They were clearly hoping for Boseman to win best actor and have it end with a big celebration but instead Anthony Hopkins won and he wasn't even there so the show just ended. Oops.
Offhand the biggest gap that always pops in my head, for acting anyways, was Helen Hayes going four decades between Sin of Madelon Claudet (lead, 1931) and Airport (supporting, 1970)Is Hopkins' win the biggest gap of time between Oscar wins ever? He won his last award 29 years ago.
