This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back writer and podcaster Nicole Ackman to discuss the 1994 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Jessica Lange won for her performance in "Blue Sky," beating Jodie Foster in "Nell," Miranda Richardson in "Tom & Viv," Winona Ryder in "Little Women," and Susan Sarandon in "The Client."
