And the Runner-Up Is · Feb 5, 2025 · 3h 39m

This week on the season premiere of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back AwardsWatch executive editor Ryan McQuade to discuss the 2020 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Frances McDormand won for her performance in "Nomadland," beating Viola Davis in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," Andra Day in "The United States vs. Billie Holiday," Vanessa Kirby in "Pieces of a Woman," and Carey Mulligan in "Promising Young Woman." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to McDormand.
