10 Amazing Horror Movie Performances That Should've Won Oscars

While most of the performances on this list are big and expressive, Donald Sutherland's turn in the all-timer horror film Don't Look Now is impressively understated - yet no less brilliant.

Sutherland, who was bafflingly never nominated for a single competitive Oscar in his storied six-decade career, delivers one of cinema's most haunting depictions of grief, as his protagonist John Baxter attempts to rebuild his life following the accidental death of his young daughter.

This isn't a performance filled with bombastic, grandstanding emotional outbursts, but Sutherland lets us feel the depth of his pain through his devastating interactions with screen wife Julie Christie - who is also brilliant here.

Given some of the wilder turns the story takes later on, it's a deceptively tricky part for any actor to play, but Donald Sutherland makes the audience a passenger to John's anguish and confusion all the way to the film's mesmerisingly bleak finale.
