I just saw the movie "Ordinary People" on Sunday (best picture from 1981 I think), which was REALLY good. I guess it seemed really progressive at the time for its positive portrayal of psychiatry when going to therapy was a stigma and therapists were mostly seen as quacks. It was good to see Mary Tyler Moore in a non stereotypical "cold hearted bitch" role...
Timothy Hutton was actually kinda adorable too (oh man did I identify with him), whereas now I see him as creepy lol.
My primary thought while watching was that I felt like a voyeur to the real life of this family, totally deserving of the award.
