This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes film critic and podcaster Ben Miller to discuss the 2003 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Charlize Theron won for her performance in "Monster," beating Keisha Castle-Hughes in "Whale Rider," Diane Keaton in "Something's Gotta Give," Samantha Morton in "In America," and Naomi Watts in "21 Grams."
