This week on the season premiere of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes TCM host Alicia Malone to discuss the 1940 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Ginger Rogers won for her performance in "Kitty Foyle," beating Bette Davis in "The Letter," Joan Fontaine in "Rebecca," Katharine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story," and Martha Scott in "Our Town." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Rogers.
