This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes writer and podcaster Ema Sasic to discuss the 1982 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Meryl Streep won for her performance in "Sophie's Choice," beating Julie Andrews in "Victor/Victoria," Jessica Lange in "Frances," Sissy Spacek in "Missing," and Debra Winger in "An Officer and a Gentleman."
