Donald Sutherland on his Oscar honour: ‘It’s everything’
TORONTO — Donald Sutherland hit the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival still beaming from news of his Oscar honour, joking about how he’ll prepare for his first Academy Awards bash.
“Well, I probably have to lose weight,” the legendary actor quipped Saturday as he mused on the upcoming Governors Awards.
The 82-year-old screen star from Saint John, N.B., learned last week that he’s among four recipients of a lifetime achievement award, to be handed out Nov. 11.
“I’m really happy, I was thrilled,” Sutherland said of learning the news while working in Rome on Danny Boyle’s limited series for FX, “Trust.”
