I promised lupner beefcake photos of the nominees for best supporting actor of 1930-31. Alas, only one of them qualifies as actual beefcake (your guess is as good as mine). Meanwhile, I'm working on the essay about the best supporting actress—should have it up in a day or two (Joan Blondell, Margaret Dumont or Sylvia Sidney in case you've forgotten).
Named for Katie-Bar-The-Door, the Katies are "alternate Oscars"—who should have been nominated, who should have won—but really they're just an excuse to write a history of the movies from the Silent Era to the present day.
To see a list of nominees and winners by decade, as well as links to my essays about them, click the highlighted links:

The Silent Oscars
And don't forget to check out the Silent Oscars—my year-by-year choices for best picture, director and all four acting categories for the pre-Oscar years, 1902-1927.
Look at me—Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Are my eyes really brown? Uh, no, they're green. Would we have the nerve to dive into the icy water and save a person from drowning? That's a key question. I, of course, can't swim, so I never have to face it. Say, haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions?

I agree with your observation -- Menjou is the only beefcake here. . . .
My money's on Peter Lorre. I mean, look at him!
No -- look at you!
