This week on the season finale of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Keep It cohost Louis Virtel to discuss the 1939 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Vivien Leigh won for her performance in "Gone with the Wind," beating Bette Davis in "Dark Victory," Irene Dunne in "Love Affair," Greta Garbo in "Ninotchka," and Greer Garson in "Goodbye, Mr. Chips." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Leigh.
