According to Sir Anthony Hopkins, people on the internet were not the only ones surprised by his historic Oscar win for best actor Sunday night.
The 83-year-old thespian became the oldest winner in the acting category for his performance as a man grappling with dementia in "The Father," which was considered a bit of an upset over the late Chadwick Boseman, who had been favored by many. "Good morning," Hopkins said in a video posted to Instagram. "Here I am in my homeland in Wales and at 83-years-of-age I did not expect to get this award. I really didn't."![](/newspic/picid-6252001-20250215004209.jpg)
The morning after the mass resignation of prosecutors sparked a crisis inside the Trump Justice Department, acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove led a meeting with the Justice Department’s public integrity section. His message: they had to choose one career lawyer to file a dismissal of the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, according to three people briefed on the meeting.
