And BAM! You've got it! Congratulations! And since you got it, it'll be your choice to either explain what is exclusive to these eight actresses or see if someone else will figure it out. I know the common thread linking them, just took me a while to come up with Mary Astor. Marisa Tomei and Linda Hunt were good clues.

Not her. What made you think so? I thought maybe it was a “Winner and sole acting nominee” kind of thing. |

I was working on "all nominated the same year as some multi-time nominee" but that went nowhere as did same Birthday, birth month .... How about a spoilered answer to put us out of our misery. This is (almost) worse than the final answer in a Garth Game ! TheGoodMan19, Isapop |

My Cousin Vinny, Year of Living Dangerously, Cactus Flower. Claire Trevor threw me, I thought Key Largo had to get more than one nomination. If Beale Street Could Talk got nominated for score and screenplay

Yes, that's it. Among the 85 actresses who won the Supporting Oscar, only those 8 won it for a film that received no other nominations. |

My Cousin Vinny is well known for having only one Oscar nomination.
I had to dig deep to find Mary Astor in A Great Lie
It's crossed off my Academy Award lists but I don't remember it.

I thought it was well known for "What's a yoot?" |

I thought it was well known for "What's a yoot?" There was a lot of shit about Tomei winning the Oscar. She didn't stand a chance, going up against the Brit heavyweights Joan Plowright, Miranda Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave. When she was announced, people thought something was amiss. The presenter, Jack Palance, read the wrong name either by accident or on purpose to score a win for an American. Of course, that was silly. Marisa Tomei did deserve the Oscar over those other pretentious performances. By this scene alone...
BAM!

I believe it was Rex Reed, the bitchy little Pauline Kael wannabe, who was largely responsible for spreading that tale about Palance's supposed mistake. Some American movie snobs automatically feel that any performance delivered in a British accent by a British performer is automatically more prestigious than one by an American actor (Judy Davis is Australian, but these pseudo-intellectuals can't always tell the difference). Of all five performances, Tomei's is the one that most people remember (or have even seen). The only possible negative about her win is that it was really more of a lead performance than a supporting one. Any dopey claim that it could have been a mistake was disproven by what happened when Dunaway and Beatty screwed up the Best Picture win for Moonlight, when the Price Waterhouse reps quickly corrected them onstage. |
