It says "At age 20, Timothy Hutton became the youngest Best Supporting Actor Oscar Winner."

Tatum O'Neal had already won at age 10.

I guess it's like looking at clouds. You see one thing and I see another. Peace.

Being a female, Tatum won "Best Supporting Actress"

Oh. I was going by today's standards, where we are supposed to call them all actors.
