2000 Best Actress (feat. Charlie Bright)

And the Runner-Up Is

This week on the season premiere of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Gold Derby contributor Charlie Bright to discuss the 2000 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Julia Roberts won for her performance in "Erin Brockovich," beating Joan Allen in "The Contender," Juliette Binoche in "Chocolat," Ellen Burstyn in "Requiem for a Dream," and Laura Linney in "You Can Count on Me." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Roberts.
