1992 Best Actress (feat. Lauren Milberger)


This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes actor, writer, and podcaster Lauren Milberger to discuss the 1992 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Emma Thompson won for her performance in “Howards End,” beating Catherine Deneuve in “Indochine,” Mary McDonnell in “Passion Fish,” Michelle Pfeiffer in “Love Field,” and Susan Sarandon in “Lorenzo’s Oil.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Thompson.
