Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture

      The Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture was first awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 1944 for a performance in a motion picture released in the previous year.

      The formal title has varied since its inception; since 2005, the award has been officially called "Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture".

      Five actors have won the award twice: Richard Attenborough, Edmund Gwenn, Martin Landau, Edmond O'Brien, and Christoph Waltz.

      Notes:

      • "†" indicates the winner of the Academy Award.
      • "‡" indicates a Golden Globe Award nominee who was nominated for an Academy Award.
