See Where Mikey Madison Fits in the List of Youngest Academy Award-Winning Actors

When 25-year-old Mikey Madison was awarded the Best Actress Oscar on Sunday for her portrayal of the titular sex worker in Best Picture-winning comedy drama Anora, she joined a prestigious list of actors to have won an Academy Award before the age of 30.

Madison edged out 62-year-old Demi Moore, who had been considered a frontrunner after picking up several other accolades for her performance in the body horror film The Substance.

Fifty-one-year-old Adrien Brody also took home the Best Actor award for his performance in the post-war epic The Brutalist. Brody beat out 29-year-old Timothée Chalamet, who was nominated for his lead role in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, to retain the title of the youngest-ever Best Actor Oscar winner, which Brody earned in 2003 when he won the award at 29 (and a few months older than Chalamet is) for his performance in the Holocaust drama The Pianist.

Brody is one of just five men to win an acting Academy Award before the age of 30, including Heath Ledger, who was posthumously awarded the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2009—13 months after his death and about two months before he would have turned 30—for his performance as Batman villain the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Madison, meanwhile, joins 46 other women under 30 to have won an acting Oscar for lead or supporting performance, including two who won twice: Luise Rainer, who took home back-to-back Best Actress awards at 27 in 1937 and 28 in 1938; and Jodie Foster, who won Best Actress at 26 in 1989 and again at 29 in 1992.
