About this episode
This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes theater aficionado Kevin Daly to discuss the 1964 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Julie Andrews won for her performance in "Mary Poppins," beating Anne Bancroft in "The Pumpkin Eater," Sophia Loren in "Marriage Italian Style," Debbie Reynolds in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," and Kim Stanley in "Seance on a Wet Afternoon." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Andrews. 0:00 - 17:22 - Introduction 17:23 - 46:21 - Anne Bancroft 46:22 - 1:06:42 - Sophia Loren 1:06:43 - 1:29:23 - Debbie Reynolds 1:29:24 - 1:50:18 - Kim Stanley 1:50:19 - 2:13:38 - Julie Andrews 2:13:39 - 2:38:12 - Why Julie Andrews won / Twitter questions 2:38:13 - 2:44:01 - Who was the runner-up?
