Anthony Hopkins Wins Best Actor | 64th Oscars (1992) 

Congratulations! Anthony Hopkins is such a great actor, I love all his films.

What a great guy

+Syed Muneeb "At a little over 16 minutes, Anthony Hopkins's performance in this movie is the shortest to ever win an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role..."

+Ghulam Murtaza it was well deserved! :)

+nathan shawyer isn't David Niven for 'Separate Tables' was the shortest ?

I felt like he appeared more in the movie, I think. I saw him a lot.

+Sumo Jii I think Beatrice Straight in Network has the shortest.

In my opinion, his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in both SOTL and Hannibal (the sequel) is the greatest character portrayal of all time

The silence of the lamb's wouldn't have been nearly as successful were it not for Anthony Hopkins.

@@groofoot what about red dragon he was great in that one too

Yes, his portrayal as Hannibal gave me nightmares!

Correction !! In my humble opinion, it was the greatest acting in motion picture history. !

So cool

great story, thank you ;)

that is so sweet!...as if I didn't already adore him.. awww

Were you forbidden to talk to him because he was autistic and it would make him uncomfortable or because of his status as a celebrity? I'm genuinely curious =)

@@andallthatjazz5796 Most likely the latter as the business wants him to feel comfortable to dine in their establishment without fear of getting harassed by fans. It sounds strange but sometimes this level of actor just wants to be able to go to a restaurant without any fuss over who he is. The restaurant knows this so they institute a rule of "no talking to the actor", good on him however for still being friendly. What a gentleman, if only the rest of us would aspire to be like Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Me!

Me 😂❤️

I loved him when i was a child

The best actor in the world

Hopkins is one of the best actors ever. His performance in Nixon is incredible, it's not talked about a lot.

indeed!

He was good in transformers too

Ikr!

Exactly 👍

It is obvious

Back then they didn't used to get standing ovations ! Sir Anthony Hopkins did something exceptional in the movie...its so satisfying to see him win and get that amount of peers respect !

David Meir - and it was!!! A living legend, Sir Anthony ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Now they give standing ovations for any shit

@Rosida Andriyana cangkemu ditoto mbak nek nyangkem

As well as his legendary colleagues like Sir Richard Attenborough, Sir Ben Kingsley, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Michael Caine, Sir Ian Holm, Sir Sean Connery, Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, Sir John Hurt, Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir Alec Guinness, Charles Dance, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, and Ralph Fiennes, among many others.

@@ajpat9620 yes to all!! :DD 🤍

HE WAS OUTSTANDING IN THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS AND IN THOR TRILOGY AS ODIN.

@@ajpat9620 And the great Richard Harris

@@ATOK_ Of course.

I was going to say the same words , well done , for beating me to it.

I was gonna say the same thing.

@@jackanorybiggins the second movie sucked. Thank god she didn't

Do you mean dr Lecter

Soo true and she is beautiful

I want this exact soundtrack so badly

yep me too, the greatest actor of our millenium ! good bless him

It's funny 'cause they never have had an ACTUAL conversation.

More like the V. Just saying.

Ms. starling!

I heard an audio interview with Hopkins where he said he was thinking of his own mother when filming the "I want my mummy" scene at the end of The Father. I think you can really tell the authenticity of his feelings. What an extraordinary performance!

Was it only a 16 min role ? I don't remember much, but I remember being freaked out by his eyes the most when his face had the muzzle on.

Absolutely 👍 the guy is a god like actor.... Amazing performance

Don’t forget that the movie won the 5 big Oscar : Best Movie, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Screenplay

Sixteen minutes of horror and a perfect performance

Loved how he held the Oscar high twice in a theatrical way. The audience seemed to like that.

+Tanisha Jess .............and the winner is an older white guy.

+ExclusiveLM…………fuck off.

Are you a fucking idiot? She won best actress on the same night....

Whoopi was even more excited.

Serena is the B.O.A.T I was gonna say the same xD

My calves and my nose hurt at the same time.

Scary people

he tries to kiss her lips but she doesn't want to...

Who kills who?

oh god... that would be marvelous

Soooo happy for him! No one deserved it more than Sir Anthony! Breat taking, mindblowing performance in The Father!

That was great.. and only this and some other categories.. Anne Roth (89) won for costume design and she is the oldest winner ever i think.

Actually, the oldest person to receive an Oscar is James Ivory for the Call Me By Your Name's screenplay. He was few months older than Anna Roth by the time of receiving it.

@@melodyal3357 Not just mindblowing and breathtaking, it's just heartbreaking and cathartic at the same time.

Like, at the age of 83, Sir Anthony Hopkins already surpassed the late great Christopher Plummer as the oldest Oscar winner (of which Plummer won an Oscar at the age of 82 for Beginners) for any acting category (Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor).

Maybe he will get another one in a few months. If they will held the Oscars.

its from the movie

It’s always from the movie they were in

Howard Shore should've been nominated best music for this movie

i havent watched the movie so i thought the music was from the incredibles

@@erinnrochelle3902 do you know the name tho?

😂😂😂😂 she supports him but from a far distance lol

Jodie said in an interview that Anthony confessed that he was scared of her as well

they were actually scared of each other

Jodie started Social distancing lol

3wrw3r wa3

Presented to him by a woman who played a killer. I couldn't help noticing that it looked he was trying to bite her.

Annie Wilkes & Hannibal Lecter are some of my fave movie/ book characters… & which makes the actress & actor themselves my faves too🤭🤭

Now he has 2 Oscars. Mans 83 and can still do anything, I love him. One of the greatest actor's in history for sure.

HE WON AGAIN!

He won!!!! HE REALLY DESERVED

The Father was cathartic and really powerful.

+AdvancedEliteGaming I know all the actors for the award were beyond excited probably even more so if they did get the award

I like Anthony Hopkins, but I'm no silence of lambs fan.... xP

+HackneyShark the s sale of the mostame

Jareto Caballero Bob

A Welshman after Richard Burton.

Me!!

Totally deserved it for ‘The Father’. I watched Chadwick’s performance in ‘Ma Rainey’s ...’several times and though I liked it I was never blown away. Watched this man in ‘The Father’ one time and I was mesmerized. Absolutely one of the greatest Actors of all time, I don’t think Sir AH ever gave us a mediocre performance.

Me 😊

Me 🙋🏼‍♀️ this man is amazing

Sir Anthony Hopkins is in the league of legends on stage and screen with Sir Ben Kingsley, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Michael Caine, Sir Sean Connery, John Cleese, Charles Dance, Sir John Gielgud, Sir Richard Attenborough, Sir Alec Guinness, Jeremy Irons, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, Sir Michael Gambon, Sir John Hurt, Sir Christopher Lee, Sir Derek Jacobi, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Sir Mark Rylance, Sir Ian Holm; among many others.

You can check his instagram/facebook/twitter, he is hilarious. Bearing in mind that he is 82 years old, Sir Anthony Hopkins' liveliness speaks for itself. This man is definitely a living legend

You might have seen him as Odin in Thor series

He speaks like someone with a Welsh accent.

Just finished watching the sequel Hannibal (again). I love him !

@@Mysterywhiteboy78 because Anthony Hopkins is Welsh lol

👍🏾

Also, one of the best books ever written.

The most deserving oscar winner ever

w3r4we3r3w rw3

Indeed.

Dwight

He never actually says hello Clarice in the movie lol

@@johnlowell5833 Yeah, he said that in "Hannibal" but not Silence.

@TZY TZY you've been fooled by the Mandela Effect

Hello clarify

@anthonyhopkinsofficial I am from Romania, Europe ❤️

Well hello Clarice...

Both deserved their oscars.. Kathy bates was superb as Annie Wilkes and Anthony Hopkins was superb as hannibal lecter

Absolutely - both won their Oscars for really some of the greatest performances of all time

Two of the greatest psychos in cinema.

Misery

@@nadineschneider4420 Dolores

He's one iconic legend for a reason.

And Anthony played the role beyond incredibly.

No, he didn't deserve it. He only had 15 minutes of screen time.

Sami Brady The screen time doesn't have anything to do with the acting skills. That he won this Oscar means, that his 16 minutes in Silence of the Lamb was rated better than the acting of the others in their movies. It's not about screen time. You must hate shortfilms. lol

Sami Brady What a 15 minutes though.

Sami Brady That's really more of a reason why he DID deserve it. He played the part so powerfully that he captivated everyone with ONLY limited screen time. Anthony is a legend and deserved this honour without a doubt.

he looks like an emperor who owns the whole world!

Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino Genuine humble people love them! ❤️

Luz Oliveira .. the very same thing I wanted to say.. for me, he is the greatest ever actor to walk this planet.. we are blessed..

+Althaf shameel Yes! I believe he is the only one actor who is capable to make any role seem easy, no matter how complex it's. To watch Silence Of The Lambs and see how he made us feel that it wasn't that hard for him, shows the magnificence of his talent. And so he is humble and nice. It makes him more great yet.

Luz Oliveira very true.. watch how easily he speaks with his eyes and emotions.. respect to other actors who are very good at acting but I have to admit they really lag him in this.. he can recite you a poem with his eyes and expressions without opening his mouth :-)

Luz Oliveira - loved him in the movie, The Edge

I think Brian Cox might be his equal. Never had as great roles, but he has the same magnificent presence. Daniel Day Lewis also has a rare quality.

It's a damn shame he only got one in his career

@@lkctom2546 people are saying he may get one next year for 'The Father' ....

@@groofoot no, not from what I can see...hes only won 1 Oscar and then been nominated many times

@@lkctom2546 He is receiving immense acclaim for his performance in "The Father"... Fingers crossed, hope he wins his second Oscar in 2021...

@@gauravw6947 🤞🤞

Refreshing how brief and humble his speech is. Nowadays these actors think of themselves as social justice heroes or some shit instead of artists playing make-believe.

camporosso who would win the battle? the one who bites ones face or the one who uses a hammer to break someones legs??

First Annie breaks the legs, then Hannibal eats them! What a great couple they would be!

"nice chianti"

5odsm He's Welsh, he would eat the liver with a 'couple of chianti' whatever that is, and a fuckin lot more beers.

timmy mctim Chianti is an italian Red wine

actually, they changed that line for the movie. Chianti goes horribly with Liver and fava beans. In the books he told Clarice he at the census taker's liver with fava beans and an Amarone, which is a significantly better pairing. they only changed it because Chianti is one of the most widely known wines.

Ted Levine stole the show Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster just played typical Hopkins and foster with little to no deviation from their other characters very overrated actors limited by their accents that makes each and every character the same so quit lying because Ted the only one who deserved an award

@@bobbyjoeyoung2becausesteph194 Preposterous comment. Limited by their accents? Levine was a wonderful Jame Gumb, but Hopkins' Lecter is unsurpassed and dazzlingly multifaceted, a very complex performance in which not a single gesture or glance was wasted. His presence was enormous

@@vengeancegauloise6049 buffalo bill the only one who deserved an award and hopkins performance is very very overrated jodie fosters performance also very very overrated and neither is a great actor and both basically just play themselves in most movies with little to no depth or deviation between characters so aint nobody wanna hear it when you can watch their movies and see for yourself

xZ Zx i think he was

@@twiztid571 That's what he means. Not all of those knighted deserve it. Take it Ben Kingsley for example

They might not have cured cancer but they can surely give a cancer patient something to enjoy and admire and forget their problems for a while

Peder Hansen they inspire souls, not the corruptable body. Your discrediting is a sign of insecurity good sir.

@Peder Hansen i see that u have had a good experience... Good for you

Well-deserved win. The Father should've won Best Picture too

@@tejaskrishna17 I liked Nomadland more. I didn't expect Hopkins to win but this is not to say he didn't deserve it. The film's ending solidifies the reason why he deserved it. What I really hate is that the Academy gambled both his win and Boseman's nomination for ratings and nobody liked that. It was in poor taste and the show should have ended with Best Picture.

@@tejaskrishna17 Well, at least The Father got a win for Best Adapted Screenplay.

@@rickardkaufman3988 I think the Academy themselves were expecting Chadwick to win.

Tran Minh Agree wholeheartedly. I still get mad whenever I remember Ralph Fiennes didn’t get the Oscar for Amon Göth’s role. But this fact also explains that Oscars don’t define an actor.

Heath didn't deserve to win the Oscar. He should've won for other roles, but not that one.

​@@sarcasticallyrearrangedNo he did . The other nominees were not even close to him.

@@phuocnhut4372 maybe he's being sarcastic...ally deranged

@@sarcasticallyrearranged How could you even say that smh..

Where a u from?

@@user-vj7vt4lt1t Why are u asking?

@@tedaaniel I think that color of accont says about country or region

What a living legend.

he has Aspergers

+Андрей Иванов I agree with you

Indeed!

Absolutely.. He is legend...

Absolutely

Indeed

i spit out my water

Bwahahahahahhaaa...... This is too funny !!!!!

“Hello Clarish”

True, he could've done just like Dr. Lecter: standing there still, staring at the audience and saying: "Good evening, gentlemen."

Im with you with that..HE perform the BEST of the silent of the lambs

best performance wasn't even nominated Richard Gere Internal Affairs

He’s the best!

What a sad day when he leaves us. Truly an acting genius

@@2618mf Don't even say that.

Sir Anthony Hopkins is one iconic legend.

Tesdant313 yea I love them both definitely wouldn’t have been upset if Williams got it

Hopkins was also nominated for amstrad that same year robin Williams won

BlueWatch Master he is a gentleman in the movie too. 🙂

There is still a touch of Hannibal there...

Maybe he’ll have you over for dinner 🍽

@@marlenetoscano9432 I've heard he likes doing his Hannibal Lector impersonation to scare people as a joke.

​@sharonjensen3016 He reportedly has a wicked sense of humor.

No, he didn't.

Sami Brady So you know more about movies and acting than the Oscar Voters?

@@samibrady6018 Yes he did, moron.

@@KillerOrangeCat lol so I'm a moron because your opinion differs from mine? Yeah ok

De Niro was pretty close

I agree she very beautiful lovely smile.

tavi921 You're barking up the wrong tree there, son.

tavi921 - she’s a lesbian - lol

Vicky Ray anything with holes can be shagged.

@@user-dx5bn4yk4f even a bug

Bullshit there are better performances and better actors

Definitely one of the greatest ever easily!!

@@fuzailimran5458 there are many great actors but he isn't bullshit. You should be careful while commenting buddy

@@fuzailimran5458 like your mum

Hayley Comet Same. It’s absolutely riveting. It’s also, for me, the one movie where the score music looms so large throughout the film, that it’s almost a character itself.

Anthony Hopkins is an outsting Actor because he knows how to reach people with his good quality, and ability to touch the heart.

Correction Typed a word wrong, left out letter. ( Outstanding ).
