My Picks Best Picture - Ordinary People Best Actor - Robert De Niro - Raging Bull Best Actress - Ellen Burstyn - Resurrection Best S Actor - Joe Pesci - Raging Bull Best S Actress - Eileen Brennan - Private Benjamin Best Director - Martin Scorsese - Raging Bull Original Screenplay - Melvin and Howard Adapted Screenplay - Ordinary People Foreign Film - Kagemusha Song - 9 to 5
Both are excellent I'd say, I'd say raging bull is more artistic, I could relate to both, 1980 was just such a strong year for films I'd say. I think that The Elephant Man and Tess are also fantastic.
Ordinary People ended up winning Best Picture over Raging Bull, but I think it is clear which has stood the test of time better. More than forty years later, people still talk about Raging Bull. Honestly, when's the last time you heard anyone talk about Ordinary People?
They did the same for Danny Aiello in Do the Right Thing. They picked him to win but said he should have been lead. They said they were still picking him because he was the best of the options in supporting that year.
Just like the studio hurt supporting actresses the previous year by running lead actress Meryl Streep from “Kramer vs. Kramer” in the supporting category, a year later, Timothy Hutton is run as best supporting actor for an easier path and arguably may have delayed Joe Pesci’s rise. Aside from veteran Robards, he didn’t face overly stiff competition and had a shot at the best supporting actor title, possibly catapulting him to bigger roles in the ‘80s, instead of having to wait to make it BIG with “Lethal Weapon 2” and “Goodfellas” nearly a decade later.
Well - that year's Oscars were so predictable - Both Spacek - De Niro - and Steenburgen all swept the Critics and Golden Globes - the only toss up was in the Supporting Actor Race between Hutton and Pesci
I gave my picks earlier down the comments I chose Raging Bull as Best Actor, Supporting Actor, and Director Ellen Burstyn as Best Actress Eileen Brennan for Supporting Actress I totally agree with your comment on Timothy Hutton being the Lead If Donald Sutherland had been nominated for Supporting Actor, I would have chosen him, but back then, the studios would not have placed him in that category However, even though I gave Raging Bull 3 of the top awards, I'd still pick Ordinary People as Best Picture It touched me more personally and it's a movie I would watch if it was playing now over Raging Bull , even though I also think that movie is also a Masterpiece
My picks: BEST LEADING ACTRESS: Sissy Spacek BEST LEADING ACTOR: Robert de Niro BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Eileen Brennan, Private Benjamin BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Joe Pesci, Raging Bull BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: Ordinary People BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: Mon Oncle d'Amerique BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior, Japan BEST DIRECTOR: Martin Scorsese BEST PICTURE: Raging Bull
What a brilliant year for films!
I think S&E disagree. They think it’s one of the worst years for American cinema.
Raging Bull is possibly one the best American films of all time.

Wow, imagine thinking Ordinary People is a better film than Raging Bull....unbelievable that it won the Oscar.
No it really is a great movie totally deserved it’s acclaim
@@hardsam68 it's melodrama crap
I watched Ordinary People recently, it’s a good movie but not Best Picture good. But to each there own I guess.

I brought the dvd 4 years ago thanks of ordinary people
It's funny how they change their views on nominees, in 1984, he selected Dr. Hang Ngor for Supporting Actor even though he agreed it was a Lead Role

I would have probably given Lynch the directing nod for Elephant Man, but Pesci definitely should have won for best supporting
They were 3/5.
Yup.
They were actually 4/5 because they both admitted Hutton was the ringer (as the actual leading actor of the film) submitted as Supporting Actor.
Siskel was right Spacek won the AA for Best Actress, Steenburgen won too BSA.

Raging Bill takes BP, Director, actor, supporting actor and supporting actress. Sissy Spacek takes actress.
Hutton is lead period.
I gave my picks earlier down the comments
I chose Raging Bull as Best Actor, Supporting Actor, and Director
Ellen Burstyn as Best Actress
Eileen Brennan for Supporting Actress
I totally agree with your comment on Timothy Hutton being the Lead
If Donald Sutherland had been nominated for Supporting Actor, I would have chosen him, but back then, the studios would not have placed him in that category
However, even though I gave Raging Bull 3 of the top awards, I'd still pick Ordinary People as Best Picture
It touched me more personally and it's a movie I would watch if it was playing now over Raging Bull , even though I also think that movie is also a Masterpiece
Love the Eileen Brennan Love
