This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back writer-producer Joey Gentile to discuss the 2012 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Jennifer Lawrence won for her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook," beating Jessica Chastain in "Zero Dark Thirty," Emmanuelle Riva in "Amour," Quvenzhané Wallis in "Beasts of the Southern Wild," and Naomi Watts in "The Impossible."
