Description

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back his boyfriend/partner/best supporting actor Sebastian Gronback to discuss the 1987 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Cher won for her performance in "Moonstruck," beating Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction," Holly Hunter in "Broadcast News," Sally Kirkland in "Anna," and Meryl Streep in "Ironweed."
