Madigan, following a deep cackle, said she thought of her speech in the shower the day before.
Amy Madigan has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the horror thriller, “Weapons,” at the 2026 Academy Awards.
“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.”
Madigan ended her list of thank-yous by shouting out her husband, Ed Harris. The couple has been married for more than four decades.
“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.”
The 75-year-old actor’s win came 40 years after her first Oscar nomination, in 1986 for “Twice in a Lifetime.”
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”).
