Up until this point in Academy history there had only ever been a tie twice. First in 1932 for Best Actor and a second in 1950 for Best Documentary Short Subject. In those days you could tie with a margin of difference of 3 votes. However in 1969 both Hepburn and Streisand had to have equal number of votes to win, and they did (allegedly (technically no way to prove they didn’t))! Two fantastic performances were rewarded that night but we don’t believe in ties on Best Actress Podcast! Tune in to find out who we think the Oscar should have gone to in 1969! Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Fiona O’Brien as they discuss.
