Timothy Hutton winning Best Supporting Actor

[hipnhappenin]

Is that Diane Lane next to Tim Hutton? Were they an item?

[WishingGoldfish106]

sooo serrioouus



[timeforaction]

lol @ joe pesci at 1:26 whenMTM gets snide

[timeforaction]

lol @ joe pesci at 1:28 whenMTM gets snide

[MyFistFullOfDollars]

I'm confused... I thought Timothy Hutton was the main character in the film not supporting.

[MyFistFullOfDollars]

Mary Tyler Moore looks like a drag queen.

[dublinairportplanes]

Timothy Hutton looks a bit like Haley Joel Osmort when he was young

[replicant1ukr]

Scorsese should have won!

[SayamRajSagar]

THAT WASN'T A SUPPORTING ROLE...IT WAS THE MAIN ROLE.........AND BTW JUDD HIRCH DESERVED IT MORE THAN HUTTON...!

[SayamRajSagar]

THAT WASN'T A SUPPORTING ROLE...IT WAS THE FUCKING MAIN ROLE....FUCK THE ACADEMY.....AND BTW JUDD HIRCH DESERVED IT MORE THAN HUTTON...!

[Ivanatis]

rip tim

[mdfilmguy]

@Ivanatis ?? Timothy Hutton is not dead.



[hyladams]

Much deserved. I think Sutherland should have been nominated for an award pertaining to his role in the film. Absolutely PROFOUND.

[jackattackrox]

that was not a supporting role, he was the main character!

[saar144]

@jackattackrox

i don't think it's the acadamy's fault - since the producers of the movie credited hutton as a supporting character, i think the acadamy is obligated to that.

[littlenromance]

if I was Michael O'keefe I would sue the oscars and make them give me one, for that mistake.

[stitchesful]

Didn't Mary Tyler Moore's son die only a short time before this ceremony?

[marneebox]

wow, she skipped a nominee, embarassing much....

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

Mary's puffy shoulder nearly knocked Jack out.

[Tristan084]

He deserved the oscar for this performance, and I really appreciated the long applause for Redford. One of the best movie ever.

[RAG1060]

This was a remarkable film, he deserved this win.

[joliecide]

ruffles baby!!!

[Stranglehold432]

One of the best Oscar-winning performances in this category

[Starkardur]

Mary Tyler Moore is so scary here. Jack is scared of her. 

[MrRazorblade999]

Wasn't that actually a leading role Hutton played in Ordinary People?

[christopherhoughton1]

@MrRazorblade999 Yes, but the Oscars have a tradition of nominating young actors or actors making their debut as Supporting Actor -- besides, he would have lost to De Niro anyway, so it worked out.

[Rtmax45]

People can post here about who should have one a 30 year old Oscar, but my simple explanation of how the voting process is done gets canned. Funny!

[Rtmax45]

Ok. I will give it to you in simple English. Who votes? Actors vote for actors, directors vote for directors, writers vote for writers, etc. Producers get the award for best picture, and everybody votes for best picture. There are crossovers. One that acts, directs, writes and produces a picture. He can vote in all those categories. Is it more complicated than that? Yes a bit, but you got the basics. So, how did Tim Hutton win the Oscar. I gave you the answer.

[zimmermanc]

@Rtmax45 What you've described is the nomination process, not the awards. Everyone with Academy membership votes for all the awards, save for a few categories that require their attendance at a screening (although this rule is more of a recent development). I think your comment is more apt as a reason why Robert Redford won Best Director-- he's an actor, and may have benefited from receiving a lot of votes from his fellow actors, the largest branch of the Academy.

[bleachbred]

He was only 19 years old when he won this award. at the time , he was the youngest man to do so.

[ilovekelly75]

@bleachbred He still is for this category.

[Nano0k]

I gotta say I am amazed at how active the comments are for a 30 year old academy award speech from an actor who, however good, I bet the majority of Americans under 25 probably haven't heard of.

The reason I'm here is I just watched the Twilight Zone episode "And When the Sky Was Opened," which featured a chillingly amazing performance from his dad, Jim Hutton, and read he died of liver cancer at the age of 45, not two years before Timothy thanked him while accepting this Oscar. Had to see it.

[cochranexyz]

Wow. I just made the connection that Mary Tyler Moore was also IN Ordinary People... Duh...

[Troboughbo]

@Gunnarsas If it was a lead role, Joe Pesci would of won Best Supporting Actor don't you think?

[Daviysoh]

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

[nduchene1]

@Gunnarsas Technically it WAS a supporting role. The protagonist is in control of the storyline and plans and undertakes quests to win the super objective. The final and ultimate obstacle in this film was the mother and only the father could make the decision to overcome this obstacle. Hence, attaining the super objective of the film.

[vadimzdonutube]

joe pesci should have won this, no one even remembers timothy hutton

[shegotyagood]

@vadimzdonutube what an absolutely ignorant remark that is...you probably weren't around when this movie came out--although the other actors were great, timothy hutton earned his award and, apparently you also aren't aware that he has been starring for years on a tv show called Leverage. Where's Pesci?

[vadimzdonutube]

@shegotyagood who cares about tv show he starred in, he hasnt had much success after winning this oscar, joe pesci on the other hand continued to give great supporting performances such as goodfellas and casino and although he took a hiatus from acting hes back so fuck u punk

[ShelterDogs]

@vadimzdonutube LoL. Spoken in true Pesci style.

[prettychachi]

@shegotyagood you TELL them . LOL so true TIM ROCKS PESCI SUCKS sorry I DON'T LIKE his MAFIA acting ASS . He swears he is the SHIT. Don't like how he carry's himself

[MrZealot222]

He was so cute :)

[prettychachi]

@MrZealot222 he is so HOT still to this day .. LORD mmm , mmm .. lol

[carolyntenn]

Timothy still looks just fine to me!

[carolyntenn]

After they go to the next actor after Michael O'Keefe, they have Martin Scorcese in the box with Michael O'Keefe's name!

[pmcmahon26]

I'm glad Timothy won. It was a very well-deserved win. But it's been said before, I think he should've been up for Best Actor. His character had the most screentime of all the other characters in the movie and was probably the most important. But I guess they did it so that Robert DeNiro (who also gave a fantastic performance) could win. Still, both were very well-deserved.

[01scott]

wow timothy was cute back in the day! lol

[DannyBoy443]

If there is anything that can make anyone after the age of 20 feel old and like shit, it's this piece of footage. He really makes me rethink the rest of my 20's. Hmmm...masters degree maybe?

[milton2milton]

timothy looks like the Joker these days...looks don't last...

[7beers]

1:26 you can tell that Joe Pesci is as excited as a schoolgirl and really wants to win. Not a very good acting job....

[7beers]

"practitioners of the art of acting" Good Lord, how pretentious can you get?

[anton1990]

He's one of my favorite actors, so underrated.

His performance in "The Dark Half" is just breathtaking.

[gsxrbuckeye]

1:40  Peter Reckell ~ "Bo" from Days of Our Lives over Huttons right shoulder. LOL

[RAG1060]

@gsxrbuckeye No it's not Bo from Days, it looks him a little.

[untitleme61]

He looked so much like his dad Jim Hutton here....

[straightuphustlaaa]

Awww, look at him! He was a baby!

[LittleVegas]

Whoa, Timothy Hutton was a fox!

[citykid33]

Anyone else notice that the Michael O'Keefe caption is actually Scorcese

[sunstar465]

the girl next to him was like "My man!! " lol

[TheOGKSJ]

@sunstar465 Diane Lane!

[truediabolique69]

@sunstar465 that girl is none other than Diane Lane who is married to Josh Brolin! she was so young and pretty then.

[soaphunks]

I think the Academy ought to have to put out a press release explaining in what universe Timothy Hutton's work in "Ordinary People" could be called anything other than a leading performance.

[vadimzdonutube]

yet another oscar jinx victim

[MDkid1]

wow...heartthrob much? what happened to him? lol

[stitchesful]

@Gunnarsas I've also always thought this. I've never understood why it was classified as a "supporting role."

[expressivechild]

Oh my goodness, the way he reacted in receiving the Oscar seems to reflect his great performance!

[shawthingfilms]

Michael O' Keefe looks alot like Scorsese!

[singingindark12]

Wow. Michale O'keefe changed his looks to Martin Scorsese. What a talented robot!!! 

[singingindark12]

Wow. Michael O'keefe's changed his looks to Martin Scorsese at the moment. What a talented robot!!!

[bigsleep32]

It's weird to think that the writer of Ordinary People also wrote Spiderman.

[Mineretta2012]

My sister Suzi Hornsby was dating Tim Hutton at this time and he was in the middle of making the movie Taps with George C Scott, Sean Penn and Tom Cruise.

[ninethreefivesix]

They made him run in the supporting category because Robert De Niro was running for best Actor that year in Raging Bull.

[JOJO22858]

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."

[chozhuryo]

he's a bit like haley joel osment..

[timeforaction]

lol i love pesci's reaction to moore right before she reads huttons name XD

hes like "this broad for real?" lol

[Patricia4able]

hes adorable

[Patricia4able]

timothy is sooo cute !!!!

[SuperHeroMania]

Great! But why wasn't Donald Sutherland nominated???

[blizzaire08]

THANK YOU to the other people pointing out the fact that Timothy Hutton was CLEARLY the lead in Ordinary People! I knew he'd won an Oscar, but I assumed it was for Best Actor. He has more time on screen than anyone else. The Academy must've had a problem giving the award to such a young person. Ridiculous.

[owg59]

this was not a supporting part. he was the lead. the oscars are a joke.

[etrax2000]

@owg59 HE could have refused the nomination many have had their names pulled after being snubbed in a leading catagory role

[mrberryv]

Joe Pesci ended up winning in this category 10 years later for Goodfellas.

[mmg1195]

@Gunnarsas Yeah, I never understood that either. They considered the parents the lead roles just because they were older or there were 2 of them or something. Oh, well, at least he won for his role!

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@Gunnarsas Well, there was no way that De Niro was going to lose for Raging Bull that year.

[inrwizards]

@Gunnarsas well think about it this way: if he had been nominated in the best actor category he wouldve lost cause he was going against de niro for raging bull

at least he got something

[Daviysoh]

I was touched by his performance in Ordinary People. He totally deserved it.

[renues]

@Gunnarsas Exactly. I Never Understood Why They Did That. It Must Have Been Politics Or Something..

[renues]

Hutton Over Pesci? I Don't Think So. It Was A Leading Role Anyway. Great Chemistry With Jack And Mary...

[collagediva]

Timothy Hutton looks so adorable in this clip.

[Troboughbo]

I like how they put Martin Scorsese in Michael O' Keefe's place.

[antebellum]

This is probably the most endearing thing I've ever seen...

[Marty01Mcfly]

Why is marty scorsese's face on screen with michael o'keefes name below it?

[MultiCgp]

Did a great job on acting the role of a tormented young man....especially in the last few minutes of movie...I have seen this yeah, umpteen times & still find that last segment difficult to watch..

[jojopuppyfish]

I think his father died a few months before this

[christopherhoughton1]

Agreed Hutton's role was a lead role in the film -- however, the Academy has always been loath to award young actors just starting out a nomination for lead actor. Plus, it saved him having to lose to Robert De Niro.

[kalurank]

love his handshake and bow towards Robert Redford at 1:43 - very decent!

[andy65guitar]

@kalurank The handshake was very nice but he tripped and Redford was sitting down so he had no choice BUT to bow! Still a great moment.

[WLegacy30]

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

[Fulk3000]

favoloso film ogni volta che lo vedo mi metto in discussione

[1sababoy]

Was that Ally Sheedy and Diane Lane sitting next to Hutton?

[kalurank]

@1sababoy don't know but it's Diane Keaton behind him!

[humboldt777]

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

[larkpraise]

Ordinary People was a fine film and it was clearly Tim Hutton's movie. Mary Tyler Moore was great in the film but hers was really a supporting role. If she had been nominated in the "Supporting Category" she probably would have won!

[PhillyGirl1]

aww Tim sounded so nervous and young. And thanking his dad.

[skor220]

he was adorable then, but he's absolutely handsome now. ;)

[ToughXArmy69]

Tim Hutton gave a brilliant performance and justly wont he Oscar ifor Robert Redford's splendid Ordinary People, and his tribute to his late great Dad Jim Hutton moving.

[deenzilla]

Why is it for Michael O'keefe they showed Martin Scorsese lol

[Iker122]

Michael O Keefe looks like Robert De Niro.. :DD

[noxyxxx]

I didn't even know he was an Oscar winner. I didn't know he was so gorgeous even back then.

[gdwme]

He did belong in Best Actor but so did Donald Sutherland who was the shocking omission that year. DeNiro completely deserved the Oscar though.

The whole cast of OP deserved the SAG which I don't think they won.

[djade20]

@gdwme Sometimes I wonder if the Oscar's look for a way to put an actor in the Supporting categorey just so they can give awards to 2 certain people. I.e., Anthony Hopkins won for Best Actor when Heath Ledger won for Best Supporting. Eventhough I think Rourke should have won, maybe the Oscars still feel they need to earn points by giving an award to a character like in Milk.

[harrietamidala1691]

@djade20 I was really hoping for a tie between Sean Penn and Mickey Rouke--it's happened before (with Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand sharing the Best Actress Award in 1968).

[zim83]

@gdwme Of course they didn't, those awards were created in the mid-1990s.

[mahjongazian]

@gdwme the SAG awards were inaugurated in 1994, so you are right why OP did not win anything there.

[getoutofmyway01]

Gee michael o keefe looks a lot like Martin Scorcese! LOL

[singingindark12]

@Gunnarsas

I think Timothy Hutton was pushed to supporting role category because they knew Robert De Niro would win for sure.. And they thought Timothy Hutton did great job as well. I think.. BTW, I like Joe Pesci. especially in Home Alone. :-D

[buffilms]

two actors from the same movie nominated for the same role = aaawwwkward. why did judd show up? he must have had an idea how the night would turn out

[zim83]

Very, very deserved. His Conrad Jarrett is one of the best winning performances of all time.

[longview1987]

i think the studios decide where they want their actors to go in the nominee slots, the OP producers probably had Donald Sutherland up for lead actor

[KRKahn87]

Good to see he never went anywhere after the 80's. /eyeroll. He needs real work, he's very talented.

[pitbull103]

@Gunnarsas I could not agree with you more about Tim Hutton deserving the LEAD role award. Why do you think the academy would relegate his performance to the supporting category when it was so clearly a lead role? I think it was bias against a rookie making his feature film debut.

[elmelapelas]

Hutton was totally big leagues in this film!! He deserved the Oscar (The Academy did not dare to face De Niro and Hutton - Maybe a tie would have been great). He deserves to come back with a starring role in a great movie, so we will see another acting legacy.

[MissLizaMay]

Okay, it sill irritates me that they showed the wrong guy as Michael O'Keefe... apart from that, can someone explain to me why he was considered "supporting" when he was practically in every frame of that film? He was the true lead of that film, and absolutely deserved his Oscar.

[explevel2]

@MissLizaMay Lol. That wasn't just the wrong person, that was Martin Scorsese!

[zacflem]

Sad how his career ended up going.

[helm611]

At age 20, he was the youngest male actor ever to win an Oscar. He still holds that record today, 30 years later. What a moving performance he gave in "Ordinary People". He thoroughly deserved his award.

[pitbull103]

@helm611 I agree that Hutton deserved the award, but it seems totally unjust that he did not win for best actor. He carried the film, and was in probably 85% of the every frame. I think it was a bias against young actors.

[thegoosebrain]

lol.....Pesci looks like he's 25

[smichelle65]

Very sweet tribute by Tim to his father, actor Jim Hutton, who died suddenly around the time Tim was filming Ordinary People, at just 45 years old.

[headwiper]

Michael O' keefe...yum

[abluecarrot1]

I didn't know Michael O'Keefe was Martin Scorsese's alter ego.

[getoutofmyway01]

@abluecarrot1 :) I noticed the same thing

[KleWdSide]

Joe Pesci had hair once?

[S13AR10AFan]

1. Why is Scorsese in O'Keefe's box?

2. Wrong category, Timothy, but if you had beaten De Niro I would've puked, so maybe this is a good thing.

[StewieGriffin2009]

Wow...Timothy Hutton was absolutely gorgeous back then, wasn't he?

*swoon*

[SStephane09]

@StewieGriffin2009 yes he was !!

[thegoosebrain]

@StewieGriffin2009

Maybe because he was only 20 years old? A child.

[shnooger]

@StewieGriffin2009 YES!

[SexyStudChris]

@StewieGriffin2009 yes, he was so hot back then. why must people grow old? ugh !

[soggynuggets99]

NATE FORD!!

[mensahcarrelle]

Diane Lane is sitting next to timotthy Hutton.she was 16 at that time.she looks so pleased.

[dramamole]

God he was gorgeous. I will never watch Leverage the same way again.

[saveangel]

Was that Diane Lane sitting next to Timothy Hutton?

[mensahcarrelle]

@saveangel yes.

she was his girlfriend at that time

[shawthingfilms]

Why on earth is Scorsese pictures in a box with Michael O'Keefe's name? hahaha

[KellyGreen5555]

Timothy was brilliant in this role...one of the greatest performances on film.

I feel bad for Michael O'Keefe, as the camera is on some other guy the entire time!

[bigjoetube]

The other guy is Martin Scorsese

[pmcmahon26]

He totally deserved the win. Probably one of, if not the greatest acting performances I have ever seen.

[alwy15]

i have been waiting for this clip to show up online forever. what a beautiful performance he gave, and what a well deserved win.

[abluecarrot1]

I didn't know Martin Scorsese was Michael O'Keefe

[stanveg]

Michael O'Keefe looks shockingly like Martin Scorsese.

[CJLOVE23]

Yay! FINALLY! Thank you so much for posting :)

[dinasztie]

Simply... the best winner of the category. He was not very supporting tough, he was pretty much leading. But I'm very happy he won an Oscar for it.

[missuniworld]

Timothy Huttton actually was the lead actor in "Ordinary People".

[blahbillo]

@missuniworld no its robert redford

[armida55]

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

[robrichpo]

Thanks for posting. I consider Hutton's role as one of the best supporting performances in Oscar history. Donald Sutherland was equally great in the movie and it was strange that he didn't cup at least a nomination. It was funny how the cameraman and/or director mistook Martin Scorsese for Michael O'Keefe.

[CitzenVain714]

is it just me or did they screw up and focus the camera on Marty Scorsese and label it Michael O'Keefe????

[deanriam]

Whoever was in charge of putting the nominees on screen after they were announced should've been fired after this, that was a mess, Scorsese instead of O'Keefe, no Jason Robards.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@deanriam Well, Jason Robards wasn't there that night.

[deanriam]

@EricAKATheBelgianGuy They still put a picture of the actor if he's not present.

[marioxfilms]

se equivocaron en colocar la imagen de Michael O'keefe y colocaron a Martin Scorcese.

[vinnayt]

And by Michael O'Keefe they mean Martin Sorcese apparently.

[Tigerlily21]

He was so young, cute, and great in that movie! Very touching when he thanked his father. Look out for the teenaged Diane Lane next to him.

P.S. Why is Martin Scorsese's face shown for Michael O'Keefe's box?

[henrysinaga]

Never seen Timothy Hutton this happy/relaxed, he's super cute!

[paint9er]

he totally deserved it for that great role
