Adrien Brody is the youngest winner of the Academy Award for Actor in a Leading Role: he was 29 years and 343 days old at the March 23, 2003 ceremony, where he won for The Pianist. The ranking below uses age on awards night—not age while filming or when nominated—and follows the Academy’s published age table, which was updated through the 88th Awards in 2016.
Who is the youngest male Oscar winner for Best Actor?
Brody holds the lead-acting record in the Academy’s published “Youngest Winners” table. The Academy’s current category name is Actor in a Leading Role; “Best Lead Male” refers to that category here. The Academy’s ceremony record confirms Brody won for The Pianist at the 75th Academy Awards on March 23, 2003, honoring films released in 2002: 2003 Oscars ceremony.

How the ranking is calculated—and what its date means
The age is the winner’s age on the ceremony date. It is not the actor’s age during production, the film’s release date, or the nomination announcement. That distinction matters because ceremonies take place after the films they honor are released; Brody’s 2002 film, for example, won at the 2003 ceremony.
The Academy statistics PDF is marked updated through the 88th Awards, in February 2016. The Academy’s awards database says its record is complete through the 98th Awards, presented March 15, 2026, but that current database coverage does not itself establish that the age table has been recalculated. Accordingly, this is the top ten in the Academy’s published age table, not a claim that the table itself was newly updated in 2026. The Academy notes that birthdates reflect the most reliable information available to it at publication and invites primary-source evidence for corrections: Academy Awards Database.

Is Timothy Hutton the youngest male Oscar winner?
No—not in the lead category. Timothy Hutton won Actor in a Supporting Role for Ordinary People at 20 years and 227 days, according to the Academy’s separate supporting-role table. That makes him younger than Brody, but it does not change the lead-role ranking. The two acting categories must be kept separate when answering who is the youngest lead-acting winner.
