Estelle Parsons (Beatty again) and Cate Blanchett (Scorsese has a cameo).

I forgot about Grant, but one of mine is very, very close to her. The other one is harder - her "costar performance" is a Hitchcock-like cameo. And at first I intuitively yet erroneously was thinking about Dench/Affleck.

The reverse ones also include Mira Sorvino.

Lee Grant for sure. Dianne Wiest in reverse (Woody Allen's win came earlier). Ditto Tilda Swinton in reverse (Sydney Pollack's win came earlier).

This was quick! Yes, this indeed was my intention. Now - can you name the other two (as far as I know) actresses who fit the bill?

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but it is a correct answer to the question as stated. :)

Supporting Actresses Maureen Stapleton, Jessica Lange and Linda Hunt - directors Warren Beatty (who won for the same film as Stapleton later in the same evening), Sydney Pollack and Mel Gibson.
