Donald Sutherland receives Honorary Award at 2017 Governors Awards 

R.I.P. Donald Sutherland. A true acting legend.

RIP Donald Sutherland (July 17, 1935 - June 20, 2024), aged 88 You will be remembered as a legend.

It makes me so happy seeing such a beloved character actor like Donald Sutherland finally get his due after decades of brilliance

Now that was a speech! Rest in Peace, Donald Sutherland.

Unbelievable that he had never received an Oscar nomination in his life before..!!! Better late than never....

Not only a brilliant actor but also a brilliant storyteller... no doubt those two skills are intertwined

He stole every scene he was in across the Hunger Games Trilogy. And the laugh that he gave right before president Snow died sent a shiver down my spine. Extraordinary actor.

Mark Walhberg: 2 nominations Donald Sutherland: Never nominated I lost hope in mankind.

His voice alone is iconic...what a legend 😄

Ugh, I love this man. His performance and presence in Pride and Prejudice was perfect. It was so natural... I wanted him to be my papa. 😭♥️

Donald Sutherland Deserved So Much That Honorary Award.

Rip Donald Sutherland

Im teary eyed. Donald receive this while alive so he knows he is acknowledged as a great actor

Sad news today for us lovers of movies. A great unique actor has passed away. Never forgotten Donald and Sempre Vivo thanks to your extraordinary work. Thank you so much. 🖤

Rest in peace Donald Sutherland

I love love love watching Donald Sutherland in pretty much anything. I also noticed that in this video he's 82 years old, so older than both current presidential candidates for the 2024 election and it's quite remarkable just how clever, sharp and, compared to those candidates, coherent he is .

You absolutely deserve it, Donald. It is us who should be thanking you for a tapestry of colorful, unforgettable characters created. You took words in a script, and breathed life into the roles you played with such conviction and eloquence. You are so greatly appreciated. I salute you. Bravo!!!

Something about Sutherlands voice is so soothing I love it. He deserves all the the recognition, he’s a phenomenal actor. Jlaws speech was nice too they have a good friend relationship ❤

FINALLY! So happy for Donald Sutherland, a legend. He was robbed of a nomination in 1981 for his performance in ''Ordinary People'' since the entire cast was nominated (Mary Tyler Moore, Timothy Hutton, Judd Hirsch). Now, PLEASE, Academy, present Glenn Close with an Honorary Oscar too, she's long overdue. And please, give her a competitive Oscar too. PLEASE!

Goodbye,Donald. Today is a great loss for the world of movies. A talented actor who ' did what he loved and loved what he did ' as said by his son Kiefer. Always remembered 💔

His voice is magic

Not one Oscar nomination in over 50 years in the industry. How could this have happened? This more than makes up for the silliness of giving Jackie Chan an honorary one last year. Congrats Donald long overdue!

Donald had an endearing sense of humour. R.I.P. 🌟

Wonderful speech. Loved the Donald since I was a kid, he deserves his award. Loved how he acknowledged his wife and family.

Overdue ...what a shame he deserved that Oscar more than a dozen time..congrats dear great unique Donald

What a beautiful, funny, humble speech. Just perfect Donald! Congratulations for this recognition of your marvelous work ❤

This incredible actor works with Fellini on Casanova... Bravo! And thank you for your son, an amazing actor too! Bravo and Congrats! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

One of my favorite actors of all time and he played one of my favorite roles of all time: Casanova. He played it wonderfully, with a lot of humanity. Also Oddball is one of the greatest characters.

I love Donald. My first time to watch his movie in which he played a side role only, I was stunningly impressed by his interpretation his gesture and his expression. He is not able to be shadowed by any others in a movie.

In a world of horrors, that's the best, most uplifting thing I've seen in a while. It actually made me weep.

I love how he thanks the characters he played. I think a little bit of each character has stayed with him, cause I swear I heard Sgt. Oddball during that speech. ❤

Gosh, he is just such an extraordinary actor and person! He's a legend in so many ways. I've seen him in quite a few places...Salem's Lot, A Time to Kill, Pride and Prejudice, Outbreak, The Hunger Games, etc. Everything I see him in, he has a presence unsurpassed! Love him!!

He deserves much more. What an elegant and humble person, a true working actor with a great career. I think back to his supporting role in Pride and Prejudice and get teary now that he's passed.

Just watched the Hunger Games movies, Donald Sutherland was superb in those. I could listen to him forever

My husband and I were in Toronto about 17 years ago. We had checked into our hotel, and were walking around, it was autumn. We were looking for someplace to have dinner, nothing fancy. We stopped in front of an old tavern looking kind of place, the menu was posted next to the door. We walked up to it and was reading what they had to offer. We noticed somebody walked up behind us and was reading too. “Does anything look good?” Matt and I looked at each other with the same confused shock on our faces. This guy sounded like Donald Sutherland. We turned around to answer, it WAS Donald Sutherland. We answered it looked pretty good and went inside, he followed us in. We didn’t see where he was seated. It was SO weird. Then we remembered, he is Canadian.

Well that was a pretty good speech! Congratulations!! Xx

This honorary oscar for this wonderful inspiring modest intelligent great man is long overdue....

You deserve it Donald a great actor enjoyed every film I've seen you in

He's amazing and deserved at least 5 nominations in the past. Personally I have a weird taste in his movies. My favorite Donald Sutherland roles are Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Lock Up (1989), Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All (1994), The Assignment (1997) and Virus (1999)

magnificent in 'Don't Look Now,' and "Eye of the Needle'....

This was long overdue... Quite a fabulous character and a wonderful actor... Great speech 😉👍🏾

Time to back and binge on the great films with Donald Sutherland. Thank you for all of your great work.

50 years ago since Oddball and 195 credits as an actor by God he deserves this for the many tears of entertaining us. The thing about him is if I see his name in the cast of anything I immediately decide WATCHING IT he just has that affect on me.love his work

I'm sorry, he was a great actor, my grandfather was an admirer of his...R.I.P legend❤❤❤❤

Rarely has there been an American actor more deserving of this Honorary Award than Donald Sutherland. The fact that he wasn't nominated for a competitive Oscar once seems (and is) ridiculous, because he made so many iconic films, and created so many memorable characters. You can see that he is very proud of the appreciation and respect he gets from his colleagues. Congratulations Donald, you have one of the most incredible film careers of all time!

Omg he is such a good looking man! And his voice ...😍

Legend.

The LEGEND!!! So proud of you Sir!

4:13 A very proud son.

An extraordinary and singular talent. He’s been such a gem in so many movies and I’ve never seen him do a bad turn and he makes every movie more enjoyable. I love that such an eccentric actor has been a huge star and remains an actors actor and a fan favourite. What a legend. You cannot love movies without loving Donald Sutherland.

Impeccable sense of the ridiculous 🤣 Thank you for Jack Bauer. 😊

first saw him in MASH then animal house and i’ve been hooked

This man was and is a noble man. You don’t hear that word much anymore. Nobility. Not the nobility of the rich and powerful but the nobility aquired living your life true to your gifts and recocnizing your faults with humility. Another word for it is class. My god I would like to use those two words more often. But alas, he is, 😊he was of a dying breed.

about time he got this award. So much congratulations to you Sir. xx

Great actor. Amazingly talented and superbly articulate. You deserve this legend.

Incredible as actors of quality and career as Albert Finney or Richard Burton have not received this award

a great great actor like his son Kiefer !!! Love them !

Donald Sutherland is a real legend . love his rol as oddball in kelly's heroes

Wonderful speech and so grateful to his family. Beautiful

He should've won an Oscar for his startling performance in "Die, Die, my Darling."

Little gem = Citizen X. My fav Donald Sutherland film.

Great career. Richly deserved award.

Top 10 of all time, possibly top 5.

Such a great speech. One of the actors of all time.

What a speech, what a gentleman, a generation that is lost for ever. Such erudition is from a generation past.

This really bought me to tears.😭

He should have received it for one his numerous fantastic appearances. RIP

0:32 “god I’d love to invite them to my funeral” Godspeed Donald thanks for the years of memories!

I will miss this man. Sure I didn’t actually know him, but knowing we’ll never have another Donald Sutherland movie is truly heartbreaking. Such a wonderful and articulate man. Thank you for so many, many great performances Donald

congratulations Mr Sutherland!! well deserved, long overdue! breathtaking speech!

Thank you for your lifetime art!

Top of my list of great actors; never anything but a great performance. Thank you. RIP and "Bravo."

So well deserved. A great talent, a great loss.

What an extraordinary speech, the ending was perfect 🤩

I had the pleasure of serving him an espresso one evening, at the deserted restaurant I was running. I was taken aback by his sudden appearance. The next evening, we crossed paths on the street, he recognized me. He said something very amusing with regards to me, which to my ashame I have forgotten. But it must have been memorable. He was a great actor, and appears to have been a wonderful man.

Deserves it. I've seen him in so many films and he always gives a fantastic performance. Glad they do this because I feel so many good actors are snubbed

i MET HIM ONCE IN PARIS WHAT A VERY KIND LEGEND

Again one of the very greatest is gone. What a range of characters in so many different films. One of my favorite actors since I was a child. One of my favorite movies with him is "Eye of the Needle". Rest in peace. Forever unforgotten.

One of the greatest to ever do it. Everytime he appeared in a film, he left quite a big mark, whether as the lead, supporting, or a cameo. RIP.

He is one of the greatest actor ever. CONGRATULATIONS! - and thank you Mrs. Donald Sutherland for all that brilliant acting. God Bless!

Congratulations..i love you Donald

RIP Donald always be my favorite actor , he was a genius in acting

One of the greatest actors of all times brilliancy a genius can play any role ...I particular you like liked him in the Western that he did with his son..... Kiefer Sutherland forsaken in 2016 Long Time Coming they don't make actors like that anymore... Today the actors just read over their lines they don't put any heart or emotion there's no more comedy any more....it's sarcasm..... I love how eloquently he goes thru the speech he's very educated and the humbleness that is a sign of a true professional and someone who's at balance and at peace with themselves God bless you Donald Sutherland.. How can we not forget his role as Oddball in Kelly's Heroes ....

One of the greatest has left us. R. I. P. Donald Sutherland, immensely versatile actor, funny, scary, intense, you name it.

The best acceptance speech I've seen!!! Great great actor!

His voice is so charismatic...

A high honor bestowed upon a well deserved man. What an awesome acceptance speech!

Love to Mr Sutherland!

What a great speech! Have loved him since M*A*SH. In everything from Don't Look Now to JFK to Pride and Prejudice. Impeccable, flawless, seemingly effortless. About time. And how great, really, to be so acknowledged and not be a part of the regular Oscar broadcast where he never could've said even a fraction of that without being "played off" or told to wrap it up.

His speech is beautiful

So well deserved for him such a great actor. I love his work I'm such a big fan of him. Loved him in Ordinary people and six degrees of separation. Two of my favorite movie's by him. He was great in JFK, outbreak, a time to kill, invasion of the body snatchers remake the list is just endless.

RIP - the most amazing actor. The very best. Thank you

Love Woopie, so eloquent and sensitive to others.

I love Donald . I have always loved him.

Bloody good actor

RIP dear friend!

a voice of a king

Great actor in so many roles...eye of the needle..ordinary people...don’t look now.. mash..etc

... he answered his ph gruffly... really gruffly... as a Canadian ..... so it was a regular hello. Adorable man.

Wow! Well deserved!
