Dan D'Addario, Variety's chief correspondent and the author of the upcoming book The Talent, joins Katey to take stock of this year's Oscar season as final voting ends, and ponder which actors did the best job of giving what Dan calls "the performance after the performance" on the campaign trail. Dan's new novel The Talent, out in bookstores February 25, follows five best actress nominees across a fictional awards season, which brings up the question: why is the best actress race the one that captivates Oscar obsessives year after year?
