1944 Best Actress (feat. Zach Laws)

Published: March 9, 2022, 8 a.m.

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Zach Laws to discuss the 1944 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Ingrid Bergman won for her performance in "Gaslight," beating Claudette Colbert in "Since You Went Away," Bette Davis in "Mr. Skeffington," Greer Garson in "Mrs. Parkington," and Barbara Stanwyck in "Double Indemnity." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Bergman.
