Poll Suggestion: Oscar-Winning Supporting Actor From a Biopic
Portraying a real person in a biopic is a challenging feat for actors. Capturing the essence of a well-known individual requires immense skill, and their performance is closely scrutinized by both film fans and readers of the biopic's source material. Success in this role can bring great rewards, including the coveted Oscar statuette.
Thinking about actors who won Oscars for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for biopics, who do you think delivered the most iconic performance?

'Good poll! I'm not sure about most iconic but probably Anthony Quinn as Zapata, Ustinov in 'Spartacus,' or Pesci in 'Goodfellas.' My favorite performance, though, is Haing Ngor as Dith Pran. Daniel Kaluuya as Fred Hampton is another favorite, although all of these performances were very good and since Downey's performance is so fresh in my mind, wow, he was good.
By the way, the first paragraph of the intro is so well written: bravo! (I'm a writer so I love well written intros, lol.) For the end of the intro, may I suggest one small edit?
