I had the pleasure of joining Kevin Jacobsen on his great podcast series "And the Runner Up Is..." for a fourth time. Kevin opted to assign me 1947 when I asked for this decade. So listen in to hear us talk about the following lineup which has two great performances, one coaster nomination, a bullet dodged, and one of my mother's favourites from her childhood.

• Joan Crawford, Possessed
• Susan Hayward, Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman
• Dorothy McGuire, Gentleman's Agreement
• Rosalind Russell, Mourning Becomes Electra 
• ★ Loretta Young, The Farmer's Daughter

Which of those performances do you love?
