It is well known for die-hard fans of The First Lady of the silver screen, like myself, we know the 1934 nomination deserves to be included. Especially since 2 of the "official" nominees, Claudette Colbert and Norma Shearer agreed with of all the supporters who wrote in nominating Bette Davis and the fact that it was announced Bette Davis came in third, after Colbert and Shearer, and ahead of Grace Moore the other official nominee.
Queen Bette rules, 11 nominations within the first 33 years of OSCAR gold.
