Who is the oldest actor to win an Academy Award for Best Actor?

i loved this man

Loved him in "Twelve Angry Men"!

I remember seeing "On Golden Pond" three times that summer. I was not quite ten years old. It had a profound effect on me. I also fell in love with the movie's score. That music always gave me goosebumps. RIP Mr. Fonda.❤

I reported mistake it is Anthony Hopkins

yogibere , The Father was an incredible movie especially in the way events happen. Anthony Hopkins played this part brilliantly. Suffering a TMI 20 years ago I can attest to its accuracy. Lucky for me I was able to recover much of what was lost.

not true anymore. Anthony Hopkins is now the oldest.

LolaB, What a great fact. Thanks.

wrong, Christopher Plummer at 82 is the oldest!
