Amy Madigan has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the horror thriller, “Weapons,” at the 2026 Academy Awards.<\/p>\n
“We’re kind of advised, ‘Don’t say all these names, as nobody knows who the hell these people are,'” she said. “But you’re not rattling them off. They mean something to you; that you couldn’t be here without them.”<\/p>\n
Madigan ended her list of thank-yous by shouting out her husband, Ed Harris. The couple has been married for more than four decades.<\/p>\n
“The most important is my beloved Ed, who’s been with me forever … and none of this would mean anything if he wasn’t by my side,” she said, as the crowd applauded. “So, thank you very much. I’m very overwhelmed.”<\/p>\n
The 75-year-old actor’s win came 40 years after her first Oscar nomination, in 1986 for “Twice in a Lifetime.”<\/p>\n
Other nominees in the category were Elle Fanning (“Sentimental Value”), Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (“Sentimental Value”), Wunmi Mosaku (“Sinners”) and Teyana Taylor (“One Battle After Another”).<\/p>\n
