The brilliant dwarf actor Michael Dunn
(best known for his recurring role as Dr. Miguelito Loveless on TV's Wild, Wild West)
was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1965's The Ship of Fools.

Some visitors to madbeast.com have suggested that this answer should include
Linda Hunt, who won the 1982 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance
as male Indonesian dwarf photographer Billy Kwan in The Year of Living Dangerously.
The 4'9" Hunt was diagnosed with hypopituitary dwarfism (a condition in which the pituitary
gland does not release enough growth hormone) in her teens, but does not possess the
physical characteristics unique to sufferers of dwarfism.
