Oscar Triumph for Amy Madigan: A Villainous Turn Leads to Victory

Amy Madigan clinched the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress this Sunday for her chilling portrayal of a villain in the horror film 'Weapons.'

The 75-year-old actress, who previously earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in 'Twice in a Lifetime' in 1985, brings Aunt Gladys to life—a flamboyantly dressed witch who conceals her role in the harrowing disappearance of a class of children until the film's suspenseful conclusion.

Reflecting on what makes this Oscar nomination special, compared to her first nearly four decades ago, Madigan humorously noted the key difference: 'what's different is I got a gold guy.' The celebrated actress, known for her roles in 'Uncle Buck,' 'Field of Dreams,' and 'Streets of Fire,' has been married to actor Ed Harris since 1983.
