And the Runner-Up Is
And the Runner-Up Is is the Oscar history podcast that highlights past races at the Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress. Host Kevin Jacobsen and special guests break down why the winners won, why the losers lost, and which films and contenders were likely runners-ups, falling just short of taking home the gold.
Prominent guests who have lent their voices to And the Runner-Up Is include Mark Harris, Alicia Malone, Steven Canals, Dave Karger, Tomris Laffly, Nathaniel Rogers, Joe Reid, Chris Feil, and Joyce Eng, among many more.
Kevin Jacobsen is a content update editor at Entertainment Weekly. He is stuck in an unhealthy relationship with the Oscars, the Emmys, and most other award shows. They often get things wrong, but every once in a while, like when the Oscars selected “Moonlight” as Best Picture, he forgives all their past sins and embraces them once more. However, he will never forgive them for giving Best Picture to “Crash” over “Brokeback Mountain.” He resides in Newington, Connecticut.
