About this episode
This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Sporcle curator Christof to discuss the 1963 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Patricia Neal won for her performance in "Hud," beating Leslie Caron in "The L-Shaped Room," Shirley MacLaine in "Irma la Douce," Rachel Roberts in "This Sporting Life," and Natalie Wood in "Love with the Proper Stranger." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Neal. 0:00 - 13:00 - Introduction 13:01 - 33:31 - Leslie Caron 33:32 - 53:58 - Shirley MacLaine 53:59 - 1:15:25 - Rachel Roberts 1:15:26 - 1:34:42 - Natalie Wood 1:34:43 - 1:51:29 - Patricia Neal 1:51:30 - 2:26:29 - Why Patricia Neal won / Twitter questions 2:26:30 - 2:33:35 - Who was the runner-up?
