Note that the Oscars tend to award older actors and younger actresses in general, given that the star system gives men a much better chance at career longevity than women. The classic example was 1973, when the winner for Best Supporting Actor (John Houseman, for The Paper Chase) was 71, and the winner for Best Supporting Actress (Tatum O'Neal, for Paper Moon) was 10.
