And the Runner-Up Is A Woman Robbed: Emma Thompson and Viola Davis
Listen to this PREVIEW of the 11th episode of A Woman Robbed, a special bonus series you can hear on the And the Runner-Up Is Patreon exclusive feed!
A Woman Robbed is a series in which Kevin is joined by a special guest in discussing women who had significant Oscar buzz heading into the nominations but were ultimately robbed/snubbed/omitted from the Best Actress lineup. In this episode, Kevin speaks with Luca Giliberti about two performances that earned nominations at the four major precursors but weren't nominated at the Oscars: Emma Thompson ("Saving Mr. Banks") and Viola Davis ("The Woman King").
We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.
