1968 Best Actress (feat. Joe Reid)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes This Had Oscar Buzz cohost Joe Reid to discuss the 1968 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand both won for their performances in “The Lion in Winter” and “Funny Girl,” respectively, beating Patricia Neal in “The Subject Was Roses,” Vanessa Redgrave in “Isadora,” and Joanne Woodward in “Rachel, Rachel.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up (third-placer?) to Hepburn and Streisand.
