And the Runner-Up Is Kevin Jacobsen

Listen to this PREVIEW of the 13th 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 Dan Bayer about two performances of the '30s that weren't nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars: Myrna Loy ("The Thin Man") and Judy Garland ("The Wizard of Oz").
We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.
