Since the Academy Awards began, 78 performances by 76 women have garnered the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role. In identifying this ten-best list, there were tough selections to be made. Also-rans include: Olympia Dukakis in Moonstruck; Brenda Fricker in My Left Foot; Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls; Mary Steenburgen in Melvin and Howard; Linda Hunt in The Year of Living Dangerously; Maureen Stapleton in Reds; Marcia Gay Harden in Pollock. Great performances all, but these are the ten best.
