Best Supporting Actress 1936-1937

Just two choices here, but two very good ones.

Alice Brady was one of the best comediennes of the 1930s and she was never funnier than as Carole Lombard's mother in My Man Godfrey.

Dame May Whitty, the only actress consistently billed with her title (earned for her hospital work during World War I rather than her acting), made a late Hollywood entrée at 71 but a welcome one repeating her stage triumph as the hypochondriac old lady in Night Must Fall. She gets my vote.
