2004 Best Actress (feat. Cláudio Alves)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back film critic Cláudio Alves to discuss the 2004 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Hilary Swank won for her performance in “Million Dollar Baby,” beating Annette Bening in “Being Julia,” Catalina Sandino Moreno in “Maria Full of Grace,” Imelda Staunton in “Vera Drake,” and Kate Winslet in “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Swank.
