Amy Madigan has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the 2026 Academy Awards.
"This is great," Madigan laughed as she accepted her award, presented by last year's winner Zoe Saldaña, before thanking Weapons writer and director Zach Cregger. "He just wrote a dream part, and he let me grab it by the throat," she said.
Madigan played outlandish antagonist Aunt Gladys in 2025 horror hit Weapons, the terrifying elderly relative of shy schoolkid Alex who moves into his home – and feeds off the energy of his kidnapped classmates.
Madigan's award is the only recognition Weapons will be getting tonight, however, as the movie didn't pick up any other nominations. Still, it's set to be a pretty good night for the horror genre – Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, is up for 16 gongs, making it the most nominated movie at the Oscars ever.
