1948 Best Actress (feat. Matt Duffy)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Matt Duffy to discuss the 1948 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Jane Wyman won for her performance in “Johnny Belinda,” beating Ingrid Bergman in “Joan of Arc,” Olivia de Havilland in “The Snake Pit,” Irene Dunne in “I Remember Mama,” and Barbara Stanwyck in “Sorry, Wrong Number.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Wyman.
