Combining the best elements of the British theater's classic heritage and its burgeoning "angry young man" school, Hopkins worked well in both ancient and modern pieces. In 1991, Hopkins won an Academy Award for his bloodcurdling portrayal of murderer Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. With the aplomb of a thorough professional, Anthony Hopkins was able to follow up his chilling Lecter with characters of great kindness, courtesy, and humanity. In 1995, Hopkins earned mixed acclaim and an Oscar nomination for his impressionistic take (done without elaborate makeup) as President Richard M. Nixon in Nixon. After his performance as Pablo Picasso in Surviving Picasso (1996), Hopkins garnered another Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his work in slavery epic Amistad. In 2001, Hopkins returned to the screen to reprise his role as the effete, erudite, eponymous cannibal in Hannibal, the long anticipated sequel to Silence of the Lambs (1991). The 160 million dollar blockbuster did much for Hopkins' bank account but little for his standing with the critics, who by and large found Hannibal to be a stylish, gory exercise in illogical tedium. Worse yet, some wags suggested that the actor would have been better off had he followed his Silence co-star Jodie Foster's lead and opted out of the sequel altogether. Later that year, the moody, cloying Stephen King adaptation Hearts in Atlantis did little to repair his reputation with critics or audiences, who avoided the film like the plague.   Filmography: 2007 Beowulf 2006 Bobby 2006 All the King's Men 2005 Proof 2005 The World's Fastest Indian 2004 Alexander 2003 The Human Stain 2002 Bad Company 2002 Red Dragon 2001 Hannibal 2001 Hearts in Atlantis 2000 The Many Faces of Zorro 2000 Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000 Mission: Impossible II 1999 Titus 1999 Siegfried & Roy: The Magic Box 1999 Instinct 1998 Meet Joe Black 1998 The Mask of Zorro 1997 The Edge 1997 The Lost Children of Berlin 1997 Amistad 1996 August 1996 Surviving Picasso 1995 Nixon 1994 Legends of the Fall 1994 The Road to Wellville 1993 Earth and the American Dream 1993 The Remains of the Day 1993 The Innocent 1993 The Trial 1993 Shadowlands 1992 Freejack 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992 Chaplin 1992 Howards End 1992 World War II Collection: The Year of the Generals 1992 To Be the Best 1992 To Be the Best, Part 2 1991 The Silence of the Lambs 1991 The Efficiency Expert 1990 One Man's War 1990 The Desperate Hours 1989 Great Expectations 1989 Heartland 1989 The Dawning 1988 The Tenth Man 1988 Across the Lake 1988 A Chorus of Disapproval 1986 84 Charing Cross Road 1986 The Good Father 1986 Blunt: The Fourth Man 1985 Hollywood Wives 1985 Guilty Conscience 1985 Mussolini and I 1985 Arch of Triumph 1984 The Bounty 1984 Married Man 1983 A Married Man 1982 The Tragedy of Othello 1982 The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1981 Othello 1981 Peter and Paul 1981 The Bunker 1980 The Elephant Man 1980 A Change of Seasons 1979 Mayflower: The Pilgrims' Adventure 1978 International Velvet 1978 Kean 1978 Magic 1977 A Bridge Too Far 1977 Audrey Rose 1976 The Lindbergh Kidnapping Case 1976 Victory at Entebbe 1976 Dark Victory 1974 All Creatures Great and Small 1974 The Girl from Petrovka 1974 QB VII 1974 Juggernaut 1973 A Doll's House 1972 War and Peace 1972 Young Winston 1971 When Eight Bells Toll 1970 Hearts and Flowers 1970 Uncle Vanya 1969 The Looking Glass War 1969 The Three Sisters 1969 Hamlet 1968 The Lion in Winter 1960 Spartacus   Awards: Academy Awards • 1997 Best Supporting Actor (Amistad) • 1995 Best Actor (Nixon) • 1993 Best Actor (Remains Of The Day) • 1991 Best Actor (Silence Of The Lambs) British Academy Awards • 1994 Best Actor (Remains of the Day) • 1993 Best Actor (Remains of the Day) • 1993 Best Actor (Shadowlands) • 1991 Best Actor (Silence of the Lambs) Golden Globe • 1997 Best Supporting Actor (Amistad) • 1995 Best Actor - Drama (Nixon) • 1993 Best Actor - Drama (Remains of the Day) • 1991 Best Actor - Drama (Silence of the Lambs) • 1978 Best Actor - Drama (Magic) Screen Actors Guild • 1997 Best Supporting Actor (Amistad) • 1995 Best Actor (Nixon)   Accommodation Life in Amed Bali Villa Pantulan Bali Villa Kanti Trading Carlo Showroom Ebone Designs Goddess Silks Sourcing For Living Travels Eco Dive Bali Gunung Leuser Trek Papua Adventures Premier Card Premier Options Jewelry Jean-François Fichot Art Galleries Antonius Kho I Madé Sumadiyasa Richard Winkler Sculpture by Filippos Tony Raka Art Gallery
