Description

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Academy Queens co-host Brandon Stanwyck to discuss the 1941 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Joan Fontaine won for her performance in "Suspicion," beating Bette Davis in "The Little Foxes," Olivia de Havilland in "Hold Back the Dawn," Greer Garson in "Blossoms in the Dust," and Barbara Stanwyck in "Ball of Fire." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Fontaine. 0:00 - 10:23 - Introduction 10:24 - 31:50 - Bette Davis 31:51 - 48:11 - Olivia de Havilland 48:12 - 1:12:10 - Greer Garson 1:12:11 - 1:36:10 - Barbara Stanwyck 1:36:11 - 1:49:24 - Joan Fontaine 1:49:25 - 2:14:48 - Why Joan Fontaine won / Twitter questions 2:14:49 - 2:21:34 - Who was the runner-up?
