The 2021 Oscars are currently being touted as a disappointment of sorts after snubbing the late Chadwick Boseman from winning a posthumous award for best actor.The Black Panther actor was nominated for the ‘best actor’ category, but fans were in for a surprise when the Academy unexpectedly announced veteran star Anthony Hopkins as the winner.Some even wondered if the Oscars had pulled another "Steve Harvey-type moment" and made an error in the announcement. But the truth behind it is much more complicated.During the Oscars night – the Academy producers broke tradition and decided to move the Best Actor presentation to the last act. The big event usually ends with the announcement of the best picture.Chadwick Boseman loses Oscars best actor award to Anthony HopkinsThe last minute restructuring of Oscars’ program schedule indicated that it almost seems certain Chadwick Boseman will be honored with the award for his performance in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”. But it soon became clear that the much anticipated moment fell utterly short and unnecessary.Hopkins, while he still certainly deserved the win for his role in 'The Father' – didn’t make an appearance at the 2021 Oscars to even accept the Award.The show’s broadcast came to an abrupt end after Academy presenter Joker star Joaquin Phoenix received the award on behalf of Hopkins and the Academy.It would be an understatement to say the ending was unexpectedly awkward.

This isn't Anthony Hopkins fault, it's the producers. If they don't know the results ahead of time, they should've kept the awards placed as normal #Oscars— Nadine Erskine NHS💙 🖤 🏳️‍🌈🐘🐬🎭 (@NadineErskine) April 26, 2021So we’re really gonna snub Viola Davis AND Chadwick Boseman?
