Hollywood actor, the "silence of the lamb" star, Anthony Hopkins, was awarded the British Academy of Cinema and Television Arts BAFTA in the "Best Male Role" nomination. However, the actor missed his award, which due to coronavirus took place online.
As it turned out, Hopkins was completely passionate about his new hobby: he wrote a picture, stopping at the hotel in Wales. He also admitted that he did not even know that he received a prize: relatives told him about the award, who were closely followed by the award ceremony.
"For me, this is a funny and pleasant bonus. I wish the victory to the rest of the nominees, well, and congratulations to the winners. I am completely amazed what happened. To be honest, I sat here and painted, and after heard, as the next door is loudly applauded. I thought first that this was a football match, "the artist admitted.

The picture tells about aging, diseases and attempts to cope with them, and also affects the theme of fathers and children. In addition to Hopkins, Olivia Colman, and imported Pats, filmed in the film. Hopkins became the oldest actor who received the BAFTA award for the "best male role".
