1969 Best Actress (feat. Louis Virtel)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back 'Keep It' cohost and 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' writer Louis Virtel to discuss the 1969 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Maggie Smith won for her performance in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," beating Geneviève Bujold in "Anne of the Thousand Days," Jane Fonda in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They," Liza Minnelli in "The Sterile Cuckoo," and Jean Simmons in "The Happy Ending." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Smith.  0:00 - 12:24 - Introduction 12:25 - 32:28 - Geneviève Bujold 32:29 - 1:01:30 - Jane Fonda 1:01:31 - 1:21:06 - Liza Minnelli 1:21:07 - 1:41:44 - Jean Simmons 1:41:45 - 2:04:31 - Maggie Smith 2:04:32 - 2:40:42 - Why Maggie Smith won / Twitter questions 2:40:43 - 2:45:17 - Who was the runner-up?
