Show Notes
This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Cody Dericks of Next Best Picture and Halloweeners: A Horror Movie Podcast to discuss the 1929-30 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Norma Shearer won for her performance in "The Divorcee," beating Nancy Carroll in "The Devil's Holiday," Ruth Chatterton in "Sarah and Son," Greta Garbo in "Anna Christie" and "Romance," Gloria Swanson in "The Trespasser," and herself(!) in "Their Own Desire." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Shearer.
