This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Next Best Picture writer/podcaster Casey Lee Clark to discuss the 1942 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Greer Garson won for her performance in "Mrs. Miniver," beating Bette Davis in "Now, Voyager," Katharine Hepburn in "Woman of the Year," Rosalind Russell in "My Sister Eileen," and Teresa Wright in "The Pride of the Yankees." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Garson.
