are facing backlash after they were accused of building last night's event around the late Chadwick Boseman and betting on him to win, only for the end of the show to fall into chaos when Anthony Hopkins won instead.It's been a tradition since 1940 that the final category presented at the Oscars every year is for Best Picture, with it widely being regarded as the biggest award of the night.
When it became apparent that the Best Actor category would be the final award of the night, many thought that this would be an emotional and heartfelt nod to Chadwick Boseman, who was nominated for the first time.Boseman, who died of colon cancer at the age of 43 last August, had been a frontrunner throughout the award season for his starring role alongside Viola Davis in, scooping up wins at the Critics' Choice Awards, the Golden Globes, and the SAG Awards.
However, in what looked like a bet gone very wrong, people were left stunned when the award was eventually given to Anthony Hopkins for his role inTo make matters all the more awkward, Hopkins wasn't present to accept the award, leaving the show to end on a video sent in by the actor thanking the Academy and paying his respects to Boseman.
News I don’t watch the Oscars Anymore 🧐 They held best actor until the end to keep the viewers. It’s all about ratings. How many people would have turned off if done in the beginning 🤔🙄😤
News At least we know now for certain that only the accountants know the results.
🙁🙁
It’s almost as if they tried to exploit the actors death and it backfired.
