About this episode
This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes writer and programmer Jorge Molina to discuss the 1978 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Jane Fonda won for her performance in "Coming Home," beating Ingrid Bergman in "Autumn Sonata," Ellen Burstyn in "Same Time, Next Year," Jill Clayburgh in "An Unmarried Woman," and Geraldine Page in "Interiors." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Fonda. 0:00 - 13:23 - Introduction 13:24 - 35:15 - Ingrid Bergman 35:16 - 52:45 - Ellen Burstyn 52:46 - 1:12:57 - Jill Clayburgh 1:12:58 - 1:31:08 - Geraldine Page 1:31:09 - 1:48:45 - Jane Fonda 1:48:46 - 2:27:44 - Why Jane Fonda won / Twitter questions 2:27:45 - 2:35:53 - Who was the runner-up?
