Listen to this PREVIEW of the 17th 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 Morgan Roberts about two performances of the '70s that weren't nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars: Ruth Gordon ("Harold and Maude") and Gena Rowlands ("Opening Night").
We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.
