(sorry about the spiking audio on my end, had a mic issue!)
This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes writer, podcaster, and YouTuber Juan Carlos Ojano to discuss the 1961 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Sophia Loren won for her performance in "Two Women," beating Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," Piper Laurie in "The Hustler," Geraldine Page in "Summer and Smoke," and Natalie Wood in "Splendor in the Grass." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Loren.
