See art carney beating al pacino for the godfather. It's too absurd. Pacino should have been the lead category so he did not bother to show up as he had way more screen time than brando & then not even to win supporting is so ridiculous. Biggest robbery in history. He carried both original films & both are considered the best ever so how is that possible that the films are the best when the man who makes both films work wins nothing.

I started out in life with two of then best human being on the planet, my mom and dad who loved me without a doubt and I loved them. Their support was my backbone while I was forming my own backbone. Watching Conrad go through the struggles he had in the film made me very emotional, it brought so much gratitude for the people my parents were./ are.

This was Mary's first television appearance since the death of her son, and the irony of the moment was inescapable.

Back when these awards made sense. He was absolutely perfect as Conrad. Bravo Timothy!

Every few years I re-watch Ordinary People, and every time there's flashbacks and pain, as I marvel at how much the Mary Tyler Moore character resembles my late mother. The icy control, the demands, the emotional remoteness and inability to feel the pain of her children or get beyond her own needs, as she pursued only those things that would enhance her public image. But this year was different. I saw past that powerless, lonely child that I once was to understand how limited, crippled, and lonely my mother must have been. She only knew what she knew and I forgive her. Looks like I'm finally becoming a grown-up. Such a great film.

stitchesful Even though he started-out in such an incredibly amazing fashion with Ordinary People - and an Oscar, to boot - and his next film, Taps, did well with both critics and audiences, Timothy Hutton's career then basically took a nose-dive with flops like Iceman, Daniel, Turk 182, Made in Heaven, and Q&A (although I loved that particular film). By 1990, Timothy Hutton had been declared box-office poison, and has never since had a starring role in any substantial movie, although he did experience somewhat of a comeback in the highly successful series "Leverage" from 2008 - 2012 on TNT.

It didn't surprise me how good and subtle she was in a more dramatic role. She was absolutely superb.

I saw this movie in 1980 when I as a 14 year old was in a hospital kinda like Conrad. The feelings the character felt from his mother were the same I felt for my mother. I don’t remember much from those days but I remember the feelings I had watching it. I cried but didn’t understand why I felt so awful until years later. I’m now 56 and although I don’t think about those days much seeing the movie again seemed to bring it all back. It’s the sign of a great movie is how deeply it speaks to you and this movie still speaks to me after all these years.

One of my favorite male acting performances of all time. Timothy Hutton was simply transcendent in ORDINARY PEOPLE, and to have been such a novice at the time made it all the more stunning. He should have went on to be a great star, but I think he was more interested in being a "Serious Actor."

Timothy Hutton was brilliant in Ordinary People. Brilliant film too. Love it

One of the few films that brought me to tears multiple times

He rocks that part A James Dean of the 1980's and his speech is humble and straightforward

I had a big crush on Timothy hutton back then he was so cute and such a great actor.

the film is so damn good. It kills me when people say Pesci should've won, or Raging Bull. They just have no inner feeling whatsoever.

outstanding acting, he really had that suffocating feeling when you loose a loved one. His face, his voice he really was Conrad J.

His performance in Ordinary People was outstanding. He deserves it without a doubt.

What happened to Timothy Hutton's film career after Ordinary People. He seems to have totally disappeared from Hollywood and I haven't heard a word in the more than 40 years since Ordinary People and he is now in his 60's.

Canon in D is the movie theme in Ordinary People and the rest is history.

One of the best Oscar-winning performances in this category

I learned an enormous lesson from this film, it was hirsch charactor, he had to draw it out of hutton, conrad finally seems to relax and says" boy you do one WRONG thing". And the shrink ask " and what was tge one wrong thing you did"? Conrad answered " i hung on". But it never would have dawned on me to ask that, and it being the key to conrads peace, im frigging crying thinking about it, a very powerful film!

This was one of those Hollywood anomalies: the intelligent, adorable, intuitive Timothy Hutton was, after this, poised to be a great star...and yet, typically, fate would have that no scripts appeared which really could have carried him, developed him, given him Hollywood longevity...fame married to esteem is still somehow a twist of fate.

I think he did satisfactorily. I do believe he picked what he wanted and even directed some mobies at s very ypung age. You gotta hand that to him

He's had a long career in thrillers, tv...it's not like he vanished like Haley-Joe Osment or something.

So lovely that he thanked his father

Why Tim didn’t do more movies being such a good actor. He deserved an Oscar in “Taps” as well.

I wish all actors who accept awards are as gracious and as brief as Hutton was.

Timothy Hutton should have gotten the Best Actor Oscar. He was the main character.

“ordinary people” broke my heart as was so profoundly moving I remember the emotions decades later. I’m the type of person that wants to hold anyone in pain and remove it. Amazing cast and crew. Thanks for uploading

He gave one of the most moving and touching performances that I've ever seen. The film itself seems so honest and raw in a way that isn't often seen at all anymore, I don't think. It's also so cathartic. I'm glad I found and watched it. Wow, 19 yrs old and his first film. He totally deserved this award.

One of the BEST performances EVER by an actor on film in a dramatic role. Really would have preferred MTM winning Best Actress as well in a performance that was completely against type for her, but I guess you can't win them all.

@@jako3214 She wasn't hard or cold at all. Read any interview with her co-stars on her series about how unusually generous she was with her fellow actors and letting them have episodes where they got to shine. She never played the "I'm the star and you're not" card, even though she could have.

He was awesome at portraying Conrad in Ordinary People; an extraordinary movie and one of my favorites. Very emotional, heartfelt, and beautiful. I think that it's fucking horrible that they do not make films like this anymore. To me Timothy wasn't only a supporting actor in this film--HE WAS TRULY THE LEAD ACTOR!!!!!! and should've won the best actor Oscar in my book. Not only is he a wonderful actor and young man but he is FUCKING HOT TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be kidding me. Or you just probably havent even seen Raging Bull, if you have, then you obviosly dont know a shit about acting, also, A. Hepburn sucks btw.

Thank you very much for uploading....!!!! Ordinary People is the one of the best films to me....! I didn't know the presenter was Mary Tyler Moore whose performance was also splendid!! And I remember that it was Redford's debut as a director...!

such a great speech

Hutton gives one of the most brilliant, deep, human and powerful performances in all times! Extraordinary!!!!!!

This was a remarkable film, he deserved this win.

Thanks for posting this, I always wanted to see this moment.

Timothy Hutton he was EXCELLENT in this movie and i do mean EXCELLENT ☆☆☆☆☆🎬📽

What an outstanding actor. I just saw in Mr & Mrs Loving and he was amazing (again!). Also love being able to see him on Leverage. I never get tired of his work.

who knew timothy hutton was this young once... :)) and dashing, positively dashing!

A tender and moving performance that of Timothy Hutton. One not to forget.

God bless you, Timothy Hutton! I love you! xoxo God bless your dad, Jim Hutton, too!

Hahahaha. He was so cute and nervous. The award was well deserved. He did an exceptional job in one of my favorite films.

absolutely wonderful film, so real and relatable. I for one am glad he was in Supporting, because if he had been in Lead Actor, he would've been up against DeNiro in Raging Bull and probably would've lost. I think Ordinary People is one of those films where all the principles (Timothy, Donald, Mary) could've been nominated for Lead or Supporting because the film really was about their dynamic as a family following such a great tragedy

Just came across this. I'm absolutely stunned....they let the guy make his entire acceptance speech without playing him off. amazing..

One of the best movies I've ever seen....I'll never forget it

Timothy looks so young. I liked him in Beautiful Girls and The Last Mimzy, mutually distributed by Alliance Atlantis. He teamed up with Michael Clarke Duncan in Mimzy and David Arquette in Beautiful Girls. Those two were in See Spot Run.

Love those 80's fashions!

I just love Jack Lemmon - one of my all time faves. So sweet the way he kissed Hutton. Love the shot of Jack with Mary's puffy shoulder. Almost a two shot!

him shaking robert redford's hand was priceless and very respectfull

Timothy Hutton should be in Leading Actor category his role is cleary a leading roel

Talk about a tear jerker in every scene. One of the BEST movies made about death and how a family reacts. Wonderful. Hutton was stupendous.

When Mary walked out, you just knew Timothy would win
