How could Donald Sutherland's spot-on portrayal of the dazed and grief-stricken father in 1980's "Ordinary People" be the only substantial performance in the film not to be nominated?
Mary Tyler Moore received a nod. So did Judd Hirsch and Timothy Hutton (who took home the supporting trophy). But Sutherland, arguably the linchpin performance in Robert Redford's beautifully realized best picture winner, got nothing.
