The answer depends on what counts as an Oscar win. Shirley Temple is the youngest performer to receive Oscar recognition, at 6 years, 310 days, for a special Juvenile Award. Among competitive acting-category winners, the youngest is Tatum O’Neal, who was 10 years, 148 days when she won Best Supporting Actress for Paper Moon. The ages below are measured on the ceremony date, not the film’s release date.
Youngest competitive acting winners
The Academy’s statistics identify the following three youngest winners in the Best Supporting Actress category. This is a category-specific list, not a cross-category ranking of every Oscar winner.
| Rank | Winner | Age at ceremony | Film and award | Ceremony date |
| 1 | Tatum O’Neal | 10 years, 148 days | Paper Moon (1973), Best Supporting Actress | April 2, 1974 |
| 2 | Anna Paquin | 11 years, 240 days | The Piano (1993), Best Supporting Actress | March 21, 1994 |
| 3 | Patty Duke | 16 years, 115 days | The Miracle Worker (1962), Best Supporting Actress | not stated in the Academy statistics cited here |
Ages and category placements are from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ statistics on oldest and youngest acting nominees and winners. For winner and film attribution, consult the Academy’s Awards Database.
1. Tatum O’Neal — 10 years, 148 days
O’Neal won Best Supporting Actress for Paper Moon (1973) at the ceremony on April 2, 1974. The Academy’s age calculation uses her November 5, 1963 birth date and the ceremony date. She remains the youngest competitive acting winner in the Academy’s statistics.

Why Shirley Temple is the youngest Oscar recipient
Shirley Temple received a special Juvenile Award recognizing her 1934 screen contribution. It was presented on February 27, 1935, when she was 6 years, 310 days old. Guinness World Records identifies her as the youngest Oscar recipient as a performer. This was not a competitive acting-category win, so it does not replace O’Neal’s record for youngest competitive acting winner. The Academy’s statistics and Guinness distinguish the special award from competitive category wins; the records answer different questions.

How to read “youngest Oscar winner” rankings
- Define the award scope. A special or honorary recognition is not the same as a competitive win in an Oscar category.
- Compare age on ceremony day. The Academy calculates age from date of birth to the awards ceremony, rather than to the film’s release.
- Keep the category visible. The three-person ranking above covers Best Supporting Actress; it should not be presented as a complete ranking across every Oscar category.
- Separate film year from ceremony year. The film year in the title of a film and the year of its Oscar ceremony can differ, as with Paper Moon (1973), honored in 1974.
The Academy’s category statistics provide the exact age figures, while its Awards Database is the official record for winners and nominees. The Academy notes that names and film titles in the database are drawn from credits and documentation submitted to it. TIME also offers broader context on young acting winners, but its rounded ages are not an exact age-ranked list: Where Mikey Madison Fits Among Youngest Oscar-Winning Actors.
