1983 Best Actress (feat. Erik Anderson)

**Apologies for the slightly blown-out vocals on my end; had an audio issue!**

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back AwardsWatch editor-in-chief Erik Anderson to discuss the 1983 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Shirley MacLaine won for her performance in “Terms of Endearment,” beating Jane Alexander in “Testament,” Meryl Streep in “Silkwood,” Julie Walters in “Educating Rita,” and Debra Winger in “Terms of Endearment.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to MacLaine.
