This week on the season premiere of And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes back writer-director Steven Canals to discuss the 2010 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Natalie Portman won for her performance in "Black Swan," beating Annette Bening in "The Kids Are All Right," Nicole Kidman in "Rabbit Hole," Jennifer Lawrence in "Winter's Bone," and Michelle Williams in "Blue Valentine."
