This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Dashiell M. Silva to discuss the 1938 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Bette Davis won for her performance in "Jezebel," beating Fay Bainter in "White Banners," Wendy Hiller in "Pygmalion," Norma Shearer in "Marie Antoinette," and Margaret Sullavan in "Three Comrades." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Davis.
