Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress

Template:Short description Template:Featured list Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox award The Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It has been awarded since the 9th Academy Awards to an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a supporting role in a film released that year. The award is traditionally presented by the previous year's Best Supporting Actor winner. However, in recent years, it has shifted towards being presented by previous years’ Best Supporting Actress winners instead. In lieu of the traditional Oscar statuette, supporting acting recipients were given plaques up until the 16th Academy Awards,<ref name="Plaques">Template:Harvnb</ref> when statuettes were awarded to each category instead.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

The Best Supporting Actress award has been presented a total of 89 times, to 87 actresses. The first winner was Gale Sondergaard for her role in Anthony Adverse (1936). The most recent winner is Zoe Saldaña for her role as Rita Mora Castro in Emilia Pérez (2024).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The record for most wins is two, held jointly by Dianne Wiest and Shelley Winters. Each other recipient has only won once, in this category. Thelma Ritter has received the most nominations in the category, with six, followed closely by Amy Adams with five, although neither has ever won—yet, in the latter's instance. Hattie McDaniel made history in 1940, when she became the first person of color to win an Oscar in any category, for her performance in Gone with the Wind (1939).<ref name="hattie">Template:Cite web</ref> Tatum O'Neal remains the youngest person to win a competitive acting Oscar at 10 years old, for her role in Paper Moon (1973). With five minutes and two seconds of screentime (the majority in one scene), Beatrice Straight's performance in Network (1976) holds the record for the shortest to win an Oscar.<ref name="shortest">Template:Cite web</ref>

Nominations process

Nominees are currently determined by single transferable vote within the actors branch of AMPAS; winners are selected by a plurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the Academy.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Winners and nominees

In the following table, the years are listed as per Academy convention, and generally correspond to the year of film release in Los Angeles County; the ceremonies are always held the following year.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> For the first five ceremonies, the eligibility period spanned twelve months, from August 1 to July 31.<ref name="Oscar eligibility">Template:Harvnb</ref> For the 6th ceremony held in 1934, the extended eligibility period lasted from August 1, 1932, to December 31, 1933.<ref name="Oscar eligibility" /> Since the 7th ceremony held in 1935, the period of eligibility became the full previous calendar year from January 1 to December 31.<ref name="Oscar eligibility" />
