She beat out Teyana Taylor (\u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d), Odessa A\u2019Zion (\u201cMarty Supreme\u201d), Ariana Grande (\u201cWicked: For Good\u201d) and Wunmi Mosaku (\u201cSinners\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The win shakes up the Oscars race for supporting actress, which prior to Madigan\u2019s Actor Award victory seemed to be in Taylor\u2019s favor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s such an honor to be here. I\u2019ve been doing this a long ass time,\u201d Madigan said as she accepted the honor Sunday evening. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cGladys has surprised me. She\u2019s getting a lot of love back,\u201d Madigan said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know y\u2019all want to hang out with her.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The actor also offered a message of  camaraderie to her fellow SAG-AFTRA members, citing the Chicago upbringing that made her a \u201cunion person.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all union people,\u201d she continued, \u201cand I don\u2019t care what somebody says. They\u2019re not going to bust us, ever.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Madigan went on to give a shout-out to her fellow \u201cWeapons\u201d cast members Julia Garner, Josh Brolin and others. <\/p>\n<p>Madigan was the sole \u201cWeapons\u201d  star nominated at this year\u2019s Actor Awards. She also received nominations from the Golden Globe Awards, Critics Choice Awards and Academy Awards. She earned her last Oscar nomination  40 years ago for her performance as the fiery Sunny in \u201cTwice in a Lifetime\u201d (1985).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t done this in a while, so  it feels like a new experience for me, but I know what it is very well,\u201d Madigan told <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/awards\/story\/2025-11-25\/amy-madigan-weapons-aunt-gladys\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Times<\/a> in a November interview about the awards buzz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a little daunting at times,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>But like her \u201cWeapons\u201d character, Madigan is fearless, having  used a stunt double for only the very last scene in a physically demanding movie.<\/p>\n<p>As for everything before that, the actor said, \u201cI did all that running and all that ridiculous stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everybody was holding their breath a little bit going, \u2018Oh, I hope she doesn\u2019t slip and crash into something,\u2019 which I didn\u2019t,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amy Madigan is now a first-time Actor Award winner.
