The winners of the 2021 Oscars were announced today in a ceremony that can be best described as odd. Most of the winners, including Best Picture, were on expected lines, but the biggest shocker of the night came in the end. In a move that gloriously backfired, Oscar producers had scheduled Best Actor to be the final award of the night, in the hope that Chadwick Boseman will win the prize and the show will end on an emotional note. But as they say, fate had something else in mind. Or shall we say, Oscar voters had something else in mind because the Best Actor prize went to Anthony Hopkins who actually wasn’t present to collect the award. Even Steven Soderbergh, who was one of the co-producers of the show, couldn’t have come up with such a twist ending. With that said, here’s the full list of Oscar 2021 winners.
