This week on the season premiere of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Gold Derby senior editor Daniel Montgomery to discuss the 1980 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Sissy Spacek won for her performance in "Coal Miner's Daughter," beating Ellen Burstyn in "Resurrection," Goldie Hawn in "Private Benjamin," Mary Tyler Moore in "Ordinary People," and Gena Rowlands in "Gloria." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Spacek.
