Listen to this PREVIEW of the 20th 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 Cláudio Alves about two performances of the 2000s that weren't nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars: Isabelle Huppert ("The Piano Teacher") and Uma Thurman ("Kill Bill"). We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.   You can listen to the full episode of A Woman Robbed by going to patreon.com/andtherunnerupis and contributing at the $3 per month tier.
