This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back culture writer, critic, and curator Murtada Elfadl to discuss the 2006 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Helen Mirren won for her performance in "The Queen," beating Penélope Cruz in "Volver," Judi Dench in "Notes on a Scandal," Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada," and Kate Winslet in "Little Children."
