This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes AwardsWatch podcaster Jay Ledbetter to discuss the 1996 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Frances McDormand won for her performance in "Fargo," beating Brenda Blethyn in "Secrets & Lies," Diane Keaton in "Marvin's Room," Kristin Scott Thomas in "The English Patient," and Emily Watson in "Breaking the Waves." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to McDormand.
