I think he can hear you, Ray.
The interviews they did with anonymous Oscar voters seems to back up the idea that people assumed Boseman would win regardless.

They tried the same gambit they did with when Scorcese won for THE DEPARTED and it was made sure that his friends were the ones to present him with the award. With Scorcese it was a safer bet, a legend in his twilight years probably being nominated for the last time? Of course he was going to win it.

Also, rumour has it that Olivia Coleman was supposed to accept on Hopkins' behalf but Phoenix mumbled about Hopkins not being there and walked off. Not sure why they didn't have Coleman on hand and cut to her (she wasn't there in person) but that seems to be the reason it had such an abrupt end.
