This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back writer, editor, and podcaster Lauren LaMagna to discuss the 1997 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Helen Hunt won for her performance in "As Good as It Gets," beating Helena Bonham Carter in "The Wings of the Dove," Julie Christie in "Afterglow," Judi Dench in "Mrs. Brown," and Kate Winslet in "Titanic."
