Screen Actors Guild Award / Best Supporting Actor
The Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actor (Original Name: Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role ) is one of the awards given annually in the United States by the Screen Actors Guild , an actors union . It is aimed at actors who have performed outstandingly in a supporting role in a feature film . The category was launched in 1995. The winners will be determined in a secret ballot by the full members of the union.
statistics
Since it was first awarded, the Screen Actors Guild has awarded a total of 26 awards in the Best Supporting Actor category to 25 different actors. The first winner was Martin Landau , who was honored in 1995 for his role as Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's tragic comedy Ed Wood . The last winner so far was Brad Pitt , who was honored in 2020 for his role as Cliff Booth in Quentin Tarantino's crime film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood .
As of the 2020 award ceremony , the winner in this category did not agree with the eventual Oscar winner in nine cases . These were Ed Harris 1996 for Apollo 13 , Robert Duvall 1999 for civil litigation , Albert Finney 2001 for Erin Brockovich , Ian McKellen 2002 for The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring , Christopher Walken 2003 for Catch Me If You Can , Paul Giamatti 2006 for The Comeback , Eddie Murphy 2007 for Dreamgirls , Tommy Lee Jones 2013 for Lincoln and Idris Elba 2016 for Beasts of No Nation . 2013 was also the first time in this category (the second time ever) that a subsequent Oscar winner had not previously been nominated for the SAG Award. In 2016 the exact opposite followed, the SAG winner was not nominated for at least an Oscar for the first time.
The oldest winner, aged 82, was Canadian Christopher Plummer ( Beginners ) in 2012 ; Eldest nominated actor at the age of 83 in 2015, the US American Robert Duvall ( The Judge - Right or Honor ). The youngest winner at the age of 29 (if one ignores the posthumous Heath Ledger award ) was the African-American Cuba Gooding junior ( Jerry Maguire - Game of Life ) in 1997 ; Youngest nominated actor aged nine in 2016, Canadian Jacob Tremblay ( room ).
