The awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor were first presented at the 2010 ceremony.
The first winner of this award was Rebecca Hall for her performance as Paula Garland in the Channel 4 limited series Red Riding 1974 (2010). The most recent winner was Jasmine Jobson for her role in the series Top Boy on Netflix.
