This week on the season finale of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back writer and podcaster Morgan Roberts to discuss the 1999 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Hilary Swank won for her performance in "Boys Don't Cry," beating Annette Bening in "American Beauty," Janet McTeer in "Tumbleweeds," Julianne Moore in "The End of the Affair," and Meryl Streep in "Music of the Heart." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Swank.
