As of October 2022, out of all 95 winners of the Oscar for Best Actor, 39 were aged between 40 and 49 years at the moment they were given the trophy. As of that point in time, the only man below the age of 30 to win that award was Adrien Brody, in 2003, for his work in "The Pianist" (2002). He was 29 years and 343 days old at that moment. Meanwhile, 16 women from the 40-49 age group won the Oscar for Best Actress, the latest being Jessica Chastain for her work as the title character of "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" (2021).
