Anthony Hopkins Shading Will Smith for Punching Chris Rock at 2022 Oscars

[vaishaksuresh]

Anthony Hopkins deserved another Oscar for his subtle performance in this speech.

[NotFinancialAdvice]

You're a great actor when you can convince another actor you're saying something nice about him while everyone else knows you're calling him a jerk.

"Let's have have peace and love and quiet"
Went right over Will's head.
I'm still angry a year later seeing how upset Anthony was during this speech. People forget that Will ruined the night for everyone, not just Chris

[MrWayneJohn]

There's a world of difference between Anthony Hopkins, a talented actor, and Will Smith, a Hollywood celebrity.

[danwaldis]

Sir Anthony is brilliant. And Will Smith sat there, grinning as though it were a compliment. That speaks for itself.

[duaneraymond]

The greatest, stealthiest, sarcastic insult ever delivered...and rightly so.

[rickdeckard]

Will Smith is proof that money can't buy class.

[DlcEnergy]

0:47 "Will Smith said it all. What more can be said? Lets have peace and love and quiet. Wonderful. Thank you Will." lmao

[commanderkeen]

Good thing Jada didn't pick up on Anthony's sarcasm, otherwise she would have frowned again and Will would have gone back up on stage for round two 🤣

[whatistau]

The way Will is clapping like a dummy is the most embarrassing thing ever

My therapist once told me it was a good idea to picture a wise elder inside our minds - a character that we could interact with as part of our inner monologue - someone you can imagine discussing a thought or situation with. I chose Anthony Hopkins. It has kept me very calm.

[drummerdorcas]

You can hear his voice shake, the shallow chest breathing, and can tell he's very uncomfortable saying what needed to be said. It might not look like it but that was incredibly brave

[andrewralte]

I love a good British shade, because it's polite enough that it sounds like a compliment to more ignorant folks. But man, to be shaded by Hannibal himself. Dead.

[leonardking]

Someone once said that tact was the ability to tell someone to go to hell, but say it in such a way that they would look forward to the trip...and Will Smith applauded Sir Anthony !!!

[_birdie]

Still can’t believe he was allowed to casually go back to his seat and sit through the rest of the show like nothing ever happened.

[erinspiak]

That was a subtle and tasteful " shame on you".

[stefanwilkinson]

Standing ovation, and he's not even nominated. What a legend.

[patriciapadilla]

Something only Anthony Hopkins could have done. Making a complete idiot think that he is being acknowledged in a positive way. He had no idea what just happened to him.

[FlabbyTitmuss]

A legendary bit of sarcasm from Hopkins. His work in The Father was astounding and I’m so happy it was recognised by the academy.

[snaj]

Hilarious how Wil Smith was patting himself on the back while thinking he was being complimented..Brilliantly done by one of the last real actors…
