Over the course of the 2020s, five actors have received the honor of Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars, and though each of these individuals certainly deserved their award, some arguably stand out more than others. Originated in 1929, the Oscars (otherwise known as the Academy Awards) are a ceremony meant to recognize the achievements of actors who truly shine in a given year. For decades, the Oscars have acknowledged some of Hollywood's most prominent actors and rising stars, alongside directors, writers, and crew members.
