Gone with the Wind ’s Hattie McDaniel became the first person of color to win an Oscar , Paper Moon ’s 10 - year - onetime scene - thief Tatum O’Neal is still the youngest actor to win an Oscar , andNetwork ’s Beatrice Straight go for the record forthe short Oscar - gain ground performance .

The 2020s have delivered some really slap-up Oscar - succeed performances , like Youn Yuh - jung inMinariand Ariana DeBose inSteven Spielberg ’s underappreciated remake ofWest Side Story . But which of the decade ’s well Supporting Actress winners has really been the good of the best ?

5Jamie Lee Curtis

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

Jamie Lee Curtis won Best Supporting Actress at the 2023 ceremonial for her operation as unaired IRS examiner Deirdre Beaubeirdre inEverything Everywhere All at Once . Curtis is a great actor who ’s given marvelous performances in everything from slasher flick to slapstick comedies , but this is scarcely an Oscar - desirable performance .

There have been high-pitched and low point when it make out to Best Picture at the Oscars in the 2020s , but these five movies are what we have view so far .

Deirdre does n’t have the excited depth of the Wangs;she ’s a comic - relief character . Like her castmates , Curtis play a few multiversal variant of her character in the Daniels ’ sci - fi epos , but they ’re all pretty much the same stubborn , stony - faced administration bureaucrat .

Out of her fellow nominees , Curtis was arguably the least worth of the award . Angela Bassett , Hong Chau , Kerry Condon , and Curtis ’ ownEverything Everywhereco - mavin Stephanie Hsu all gave powerful , three - dimensional spectacular performance .

4Zoe Saldaña

Emilia Perez (2024)

The most late Best Supporting Actress winner , Zoe Saldaña , pick out home the award for her turn as the titular cartel knob ’ attorney inEmilia Pérez . Emilia Pérezis the most wildly controversial Oscar contender in recent year . Although it was praised by critics , it was met with a much harsher receipt from audiences for its inauthentic theatrical performance of Mexican culture , the transgender community , and the Spanish linguistic communication . This contention only pay off worse when Karla Sofía Gascón ’s bigoted tweets resurfaced .

But through all that controversy , Saldaña broom awards time of year all the style to victory on Oscar night . Even people who hateEmilia Pérezas a moviehave to admit that Saldaña gave a great performance . Rita steal the show from Emilia herself ; she ’s a conflicted human being thrust into a grievous berth . Saldaña dally the part with both a magic , magnetic screen presence and a thick dramatic refinement .

3Ariana DeBose

West Side Story (2021)

In 2022 , Ariana DeBose advance Best bear out Actress for her portrayal of Anita inWest Side Story . Rita Moreno made this persona truly iconicin the original 1961 movie , soDeBose had some jolly big terpsichore place to fill . Not only did DeBose ’s performance populate up to Moreno ’s ; she put her own unequalled pestle on the character .

Anita ’s impression in the American Dream encapsulate the themes of the news report . DeBose brought a feisty disembodied spirit to Anita that filled the projection screen with just as much DOE and sonorousness as her colored costume and bedazzle musical numbers . DeBose share great chemistry with Rachel Zegleras her swain ’s sister , María , to whom she behave as a sort of mentor figure , make her a supporting player in the truest sense .

2Youn Yuh-jung

Minari (2020)

Youn Yuh - jung became the first Korean histrion to deliver the goods an Oscar with her triumph at the 93rd Academy Awards . Youn bolsters this touching story of an immigrant sept with her flawless turn as the rambunctious matriarch , Soon - ja . Like Curtis , Youn provide a comical foil — and delivers some of the film ’s biggest laugh — but she ’s not a imitation .

As a granny trying to connect with a menage that want to reject her , there ’s an inherent dramatic event to Youn ’s purpose that adds spare depthand tenseness to the movie . She ’s screaming , but she ’s also a real human being .

1Da’Vine Joy Randolph

The Holdovers (2023)

Some really gravid supporting execution have been honored with an Academy Award in the 2020s , and more are surely on the way , but the good of the bunch ( by far ) is Da’Vine Joy Randolph . Randolph play cafeteria handler Mary Lamb inthe shed ofThe Holdovers .

Her power to make the consultation find her pain in the ass without drive too cloying or melodramatic is more than deserving of an Oscar .

For the most part , The Holdoversis an odd - match comedy about a classics teacher and a rebellious bookman who reluctantly become champion while marooned at a New England boarding school day over Christmas in 1970.Mary brings a very different free energy to the story than the fundamental duo . Mary is mourn the red of her son , who died after being enlist to struggle in the Vietnam War .

Mary ’s struggles contextualize the film in its pregnant historical setting , and avail to put Paul and Angus ’ junior-grade grievances into perspective . Randolph captures Mary ’s on-going engagement with grief with grievous genuineness .
