[ For full episode catalogue please subscribe to our Patreon at Patreon.com/BestActress ] The year is 1934 and the nominees are: 1) Katharine Hepburn - Morning Glory 2) Diana Wynard - Cavalcade 3) May Robson - Lady for a Day - In 1934 Katharine Hepburn won her first of four Oscars playing Eva Lovelace, an aspiring actress who faces various career setbacks but ultimately makes it in show business. At this time in history there were only 3 nominees per category and there were was no category for supporting actor/actress. That did not happen until 1937 when Walter Brennan won for Come and Get It and Gale Sondergaard won for Anthony Adverse for supporting actor and actress (respectively). Diana Wynard and May Robson each give fantastic performances and frankly with 3 nominees it makes the Oscar race much more competitive. Frankly I think you could make an argument for any of these performances to win. I don’t think there was a clear front runner. Have you seen these films? If so who do you think should have won? Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host Dan Dillabough as they discuss.
