1995 Best Actress (feat. Chris Feil)


This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back writer and podcaster Chris Feil to discuss the 1995 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Susan Sarandon won for her performance in “Dead Man Walking,” beating Elisabeth Shue in “Leaving Las Vegas,” Sharon Stone in “Casino,” Meryl Streep in “The Bridges of Madison County,” and Emma Thompson in “Sense and Sensibility.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Sarandon.
