After a brief respite from the vicissitudes of participatory democracy, StinkyLulu suspects that -- for the last month of Supporting Actress Sundays before my annual hiatus -- I should ask you, lovely reader, to determine December's roster of Supporting Actresses. As you'll certainly note, I've tweaked things to direct our attention to two decades as yet ignored in 2007 (the 1930s and the 1960s) and prioritizing the later 1960s, some of the strangest years of the category and years heretofore ignored entirely by Supporting Actress Sundays. So, lovely constituents...What year deserves the focus
for DECEMBER's month of
Supporting Actress Sundays?

67 or 69 are both keee-razy.
1969
I'd gladly see you take on any of the late '60s contests... but I'd especially love hearing everyone's reactions to Carol Channing's "does this person come from OUTER SPACE?" performance in "Millie" in 1967.
1939. Hattie McDaniel, Olivia de Havilland, Edna May Oliver. Need I say more?
i didn't vote for either of them but the two leaders 67 and 39 are both so fantastically discussable that we're in for a treat
Oh FOUL! These are primo years for bitching and discussing. =/
1967!
Well - not to vote against the grain - but I would vote for 1938.
I'm 16, so I'm basically a newb in terms of decades before 1990, but although I did love Sandy Dennis in 'Virginia Woolf?', I picked 1967 ~ looks like a fun year.
