Anthony Hopkins seemed as surprised as everyone else that he won the Oscar for Best Actor at Sunday's Academy Awards over nominee Chadwick Boseman.

Not only didn't the 83-year-old actor attend the ceremony, even by satellite, but he was asleep at the time his award was given out — because it was 4 a.m. in Wales. He's since posted a video message giving his thank-yous and honoring the late Boseman, who was favored to win.

"Good morning," Hopkins began. "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. I'm very grateful to the Academy. Thank you." He continued, "And I want to pay tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who was taken from us far too early."

He ended by saying he felt "very privileged and honored."
