One of my favorite Best Actress wins, and for Neal to make such a huge impression with limited screentime and win the Oscar and several other big awards (including the NYFC and British Academy Best Actress prizes) is a big positive, not a detriment, as the quality of her work is such that she could not be denied by voters who were clearly moved by a performance lingering strongest in the memory, even among co-nominees who had a lot more screentime to work with.
I adore Patricia Neal's performance in Hud. No pretty wardrobe, no fancy make-up, no dramatic screaming or nervous breakdown. Just a raw performance from an actress long denied an opportunity to shine.
Leslie Caron (The L-Shapped Room) and Natalie Wood (Love with the Proper Stranger) should've won instead Patricia Neal (Hud), her performance was good but more supporting than leading role
Pat was great, but for my money, that Oscar should have gone to Rachel Robert. She was a magnificent actress who never received the recognition she so justly deserved. Regardless of my opinion, all these wonderful ladies certainly did marvelous work!
This was the first year when close ups of the nominees were filmed live and incoporated into the telecast, The Oscars had experimented to include such footages for over a decade but during the previous years they would filmed each nominees who were present in the audience before the ceremony started and then edited the footage of only of the winner (and since 1962, all the nominees if they were present at the ceremony) into shorts/newsreels which were replayed on TV for days after the ceremony.
Patricia Neal was amazing in Hud and deserved to win. She was an amazing actress, and it showed in this performance.
I fell in love with Patricia in the Day The Earth stood still.
Leslie Caron 😍
I love her in Ghost Story 1981 and loves her in HUD however I always thought it was more supporting
I agree, maybe under 30 minutes?
Watching ghost story right now! Shes great.

Loving the clips in these older movies for the presenters/nominees
Love with the Proper Stranger is one of my favorite movies.
Natelie Wood Devers Awards.
natalie wood was amazing!
The laughter at the "technical difficulty" just comes off as weird and unintentionally creepy in retrospect

Hell of a super Star
