Top 5 best supporting actresses who won an Oscar

Even the brightest movie star needs a good team, people who are in the background and help move the plot of the film forward.

The Guardian, using a readership survey, made the top 5 best supporting actresses who received an Oscar for their work. Looking at this list, it is impossible not to notice how earlier in foreign cinema, race and gender influenced the character's choice. Women, as a rule, received a reward for the role of a servant or housewife, because they played auxiliary roles in both life and art. Fortunately, the practice of gender inequality in the cinema is a thing of the past.

5. Gloria Graham

The brilliant talent of this actress was fully revealed in the 1952 film "Evil and Beautiful." She played Rosemary, the wife of writer James Lee Bartlow, who, under the influence of the protagonist, was re-qualified as screenwriter. As a result of the wiles of the ruthless cinema tycoon Jonathan Shield, Rosemary dies.

In this film, Gloria has the role of a capricious, tragic and, at the same time, very seductive woman. 9% of moviegoers voted for it.

4. Viola Davis

The next in the selection of the best supporting actresses in the history of cinema is the dark-skinned beauty who received her Oscar for shooting in the movie Fences. She played Rosa, the wife of Troy (played by Denzel Washington), a former baseball player and now a garbage collector. This might have been an ungrateful role, but Davis “pulled” it with her bright and intellectual game.

16% of people polled by The Guardian voted for Viola.

3. Cloris Leachman

Lichman received her prize for acting in 1972, having starred in the movie novel "The Last Movie Show". In it, she played Ruth, the melancholy, aging wife of a basketball team coach, with whom the main character (played by Timothy Bottoms) had a connection. Ruth's eyes, full of unspeakable longing and regret - one of the most vivid impressions after the "Last Movie Show."

Lichman’s career, which began in the 1940s, has many excellent roles. She received an Emmy Award twice for her role as Phyllis Lindstrom in the Mary Tyler Moore Show and was awarded the Golden Globe for her role as Phyllis in the eponymous series.

The game Cloris was rated by 18% of respondents.

2. Tilda Swinton

An absolutely unique figure in modern cinema and the star of the art house won an Oscar for his supporting role in the dramatic thriller Michael Clayton.

Despite the fact that Swinton is known for the roles of spiritually strong and independent women, here she plays a weak and guilty character. This is attorney Karen Crowder, and she has to take terrible steps to protect her employer. She is able to do very bad things for the sake of her own ambitiousness, and, in fact, is the personification of evil in the corporate world.

Tilda's acting was considered the best by 23% of the audience.

1. Hattie McDaniel

If you liked the black-skinned slave Mother in Gone with the Wind in 1940, then you should know that she was played by Hattie McDaniel. She became the first African American to receive a major US film award, albeit for a supporting role.

Incredibly, Hattie was not allowed to sit at the same table with Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh at the film award ceremony. And it was only with great difficulty that the leadership of the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles (the Oscars were held there) was able to suspend its segregation policy to allow it to enter. Well, at least Hattie was more fortunate than Judy Garland - one of the participants in the Oscar's most important failures rating. After all, Garland never received her prize.

McDaniel admitted that for the best entry into the role, she drew inspiration from the memories of her grandmother, who was a slave on the plantation.

For the Oscar-winning Mother, 34% of The Guardian readers cast their votes.
