Episode 2 of 4

Paul Gambaccini explores how the comedy won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Judi Dench's performance. From February 2009.

Continuing with his look at Oscar-winning films and what they tell us about the society that gave birth to them, Paul Gambaccini turns to Shakespeare in Love which won the Oscar for Best Picture, despite being a comedy, and for Best Supporting Actress, despite its recipient Judi Dench's appearance in the film being one of the shortest to win an award.
