Apple Original Films’ “Coda” has skyrocketed up Gold Derby’s Oscar chart for Best Picture in the past several weeks. It’s currently tied with Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog” in the #1 position to win, and by the time you finish reading this article, it may have actually taken the lead. But is the heartwarming PGA, WGA and SAG Award winner hurt by the fact that it didn’t receive any below-the-line noms at the Academy Awards? Nope. Just ask “Ordinary People” (1980).
Exactly 41 years ago, “Ordinary People” won Best Picture at the 1981 Oscars despite only earning above-the-line nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (Robert Redford), Best Adapted Screenplay (Alvin Sargent), Best Actress (Mary Tyler Moore) and Best Supporting Actor (Timothy Hutton and Judd Hirsch). The psychological film ended up winning four trophies for picture, directing, writing and Hutton.
