And the Runner-Up Is A Woman Robbed: Isabella Rossellini and Linda Fiorentino
Listen to this PREVIEW of the 12th 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 Zach Laws about two performances that won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead but weren't nominated at the Oscars: Isabella Rossellini ("Blue Velvet") and Linda Fiorentino ("The Last Seduction").
We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.
