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 character|supporting role]] in a film released that year. The award is traditionally presented by the previous year's [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor|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 [[Academy Awards#Oscar statuette|Oscar statuette]], supporting acting recipients were given plaques up until the [[16th Academy Awards]],<ref name="Plaques">{{harvnb|Kinn|Piazza|2014|pp=39–67}}</ref> when statuettes were awarded to each category instead.<ref>{{cite news |last=Dirks |first=Tim |title=1943 Academy Awards Winners and History |work=[[Filmsite]] |publisher=[[Rainbow Media]] |url=http://www.filmsite.org/aa43.html |url-status=live |access-date=August 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160716193955/http://www.filmsite.org/aa43.html |archive-date=July 16, 2016}}</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>{{cite news |title=Rule One: Award Definitions |page=1 |publisher=[[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] (AMPAS) |url=http://www.oscars.org/sites/default/files/87aa_rules.pdf |url-status=dead |access-date=August 30, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141021054540/http://www.oscars.org/sites/default/files/87aa_rules.pdf |archive-date=October 21, 2014}}</ref> The record for [[List of actors with two or more Academy Awards in acting categories|most wins]] is two, held jointly by [[Dianne Wiest]] and [[Shelley Winters]].

Star Clark Gable had threatened to boycott the event unless McDaniel were allowed to attend, but she convinced him to go, anyway, while she stayed away, a victim of Georgia's strict segregation laws of the time. |archive-date=December 3, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231203113254/https://www.goldderby.com/article/2023/in-1940-hattie-mcdaniel-became-the-first-african-american-oscar-winner/ |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Tatum O'Neal]] remains the [[List of oldest and youngest Academy Award winners and nominees#Youngest winners 5|youngest person to win a competitive acting Oscar]] at 10 years old, for her role in ''[[Paper Moon (film)|Paper Moon]]'' (1973).
