This week on the season finale of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back Fritz, of Fritz and the Oscars, to discuss the 1989 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Jessica Tandy won for her performance in "Driving Miss Daisy," beating Isabelle Adjani in "Camille Claudel," Pauline Collins in "Shirley Valentine," Jessica Lange in "Music Box," and Michelle Pfeiffer in "The Fabulous Baker Boys." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Tandy.
