This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes former USA Today book editor Barbara VanDenburgh to discuss the 1988 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Jodie Foster won for her performance in "The Accused," beating Glenn Close in "Dangerous Liaisons," Melanie Griffith in "Working Girl," Meryl Streep in "A Cry in the Dark," and Sigourney Weaver in "Gorillas in the Mist." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Foster.
