BD was magnificent in AAE, but Swanson should have won it for her career, she had been nominated twice before - Sadie Thompson (first AA ever) and The Tresspaser (her first talkie which was a huge hit) - so, though BD was good, Swanson was on par and I think the career should have closed the deal for her. I think JH won because of the voting split BD and GS caused.
