I haven't seen any of these nominees, I'm afraid, but my picks for this year are very strong. 1963 is probably one of the best years in the history of film.
My picks:
1. Daliah Lavi, Il demonio
2. Ingrid Thulin, The Silence
3. Gunnel Lindblom, The Silence
4. Sachiko Hidari, The Insect Woman
5. Inger Taube, The Baby Carriage
Best Actress 1963
Patricia or Leslie? Leslie or Patricia? Both wonderful actresses. Two wonderful performances.
I will vote for Pat Neal to win because she has had so much personal tragedy in her life.

Neal won the Oscar, and she probably deserved it. Had she been in the Supporting Actress race, her Oscar would have been even more deserved. It's a raw, very human performance, a beautiful performance.
She will win here too, so I will vote for Leslie Caron. It won't change the result, and I think that Caron was I'd say surprisingly good in that offbeat character study, The L Shaped Room, as real as the movie itself.

Very tempted not to vote, since I haven't seen Wood and Caron and have only gotten through part of MacClaine's eternal film. But even though their roles are small by the standards of the category, I like the other two very much, and think both of them are worthy of a vote. So I ended up voting, for Neal.
Neal wins this hands down....a remarkable and very sexy performance....that voice does it to me every time!!
Caron is also superb. Yes all the more remarkable in what came before in her career....the musicals and comedies.
Roberts is also very good.....heartbreaking in that kitchen sink drama.
Yes Wood and MacLaine were mere ballot fillers as Mister Tee puts it. Both actresses were on a high period in their careers and always in the news thus it was easy to get onto the ballot.
My personal top 5 of the year:
Patricia Neal, Hud
Leslie Caron, The L Shaped Room
Nutan, Bandini
Rachel Roberts, This Sporting Life
Ingrid Thulin, The Silence

Wood and especially MacLaine were ballot-fillers in a weak year. Roberts could also earn that label by virtue of the size of her role, but she was leagues better than the other two.
Caron is the only competition; she's quite good in a full-bodied role.
But Neal is outstanding -- the sexiest listless performance I've ever seen -- and my clear choice.
Let's see if this is one of those landslides dws was wondering if we'd see.

I fixed the thread title. It's an administrative function.
I voted for Patricia Neal. As I've said elsewhere, 1963 was the only year in which I agreed with all six winners in the top categories - Poitier, Neal, Douglas, Rutherford, Richardson and Tom Jones as Best Picture.
It doesn't really matter whether you consider Neal's role in Hud lead or supporting, she gave the year's most interesting female performance and deserved to win in whichever category she was placed, but after several years of being relegated to decidedly supporting roles (George Peppard's keeper in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Patty Duke's mother in the Broadway version of The Miracle Worker), it was nice to see this first-rate intelligent actress garnering recognition as a leading lady once more.
Her only real competition was Leslie Caron who proved she could do straight dramatic roles as well as musical and comedy ones with her admirable work in The L-Shaped Room.
Too bad Jean Simmons wasn't nominated for her equally impressive work in All the Way Home, but she was declared ineligible due to a fluke. The film was pulled after six days in its premiere L.A. engagement. Academy rules stipulate that s film must be shown for no less than seven consecutive days in order to qualify for Oscar consideration.
Natalie Wood was good in Love With the Proper Stranger but the material was weak. The film plays like left-overs from The Apartment.
Rachel Roberts was fine in This Sporting Life but her role was even smaller than Neal's.
The less said about Shirley McLaine and the vapid Irma La Douce the better.
Aside from Simmons, the only non-nominated performance of any consequence was Susannah York's in Tom Jones.
