Did you see Ordinary People?
It was (and IS) an excellent film although I'll agree it's debatable as to whether it deserved Best Picture status.
However, Timothy Hutton's performance as the troubled son most certainly did deserve the Oscar win. I'm not saying Pesci didn't...but Hutton did.
That's the sort of tragedy of the Academy Awards...there can only be one winner in each category and though several nominees are equally deserving, sometimes it's merely a few votes that makes the difference in who goes home with the statue.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
