@KrueMann1992 Ok I actually never sit down with a Timer to measure every oscar nominated performance:)

This information is from IMDB. I found it interesting and worth to share. I never checked if it was entirely true.:) Cheers

[KrueMann1992]

@AmyLoveFun yup, best supporting actress-1941

[AmyLoveFun]

@KrueMann1992 Ok,and she was nominated for an Oscar as well?

[KrueMann1992]

@AmyLoveFun Actually that's false. Margaret Wycherly had the shortest role of appearing for a mere 3 minutes and 14 seconds on screen in 1941's Sergeant York
