NEED TO KNOW

  • Amy Madigan has won her first Actors Award
  • The Weapons star dashed to the stage to collect her trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role on Sunday, March 1
  • “It’s such an honor to be here,” Madigan said

Amy Madigan is officially an Actor Awards winner!

The Weapons star, 75, secured the win in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role category on Sunday, March 1. To accept the trophy, she ran up to the stage at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, much like the distinct running pose from the film.

"It's such an honor to be here," Madigan, who played Aunt Gladys, said after her dash to the microphone. "I've been doing this a long-ass time. And I have never been nominated by the SAG committee and by the guild. I am a proud member and I keep getting asked tonight, 'Well, what is it about this night?' I said, 'Because actors love other actors. They just love being with them.' "

Madigan then recognized her family's union roots before sharing that her Weapons character has been "getting a lot of love" since the film's release in August 2025.

"I didn't know y'all wanted to hang out with her," Madigan joked. "Anyway, this is about the actors and I'm so happy for this because I want to give a shoutout to the ensemble."

The actress nodded to a few of her costars — including Julia Garner and Josh Brolin — and also recognized the film's director, Zach Cregger. "I wasn't expecting this, but it does really mean a lot to me from my peers," she said.

Madigan was nominated for the award alongside Odessa A’zion (Marty Supreme), Ariana Grande (Wicked: For Good), Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners) and Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another).

Earlier this month, Madigan spoke about her performance as the ghoulish Gladys with PEOPLE, sharing that the love for the character has been "unexpected" and "a nice surprise."

“I’ve been asked a lot: ‘Your inbox must be just filled with scripts?’ No, that is not true. There have been some, of course,” Madigan, who has also snagged an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, said. “I think the really nice thing about this attention is that I’m much, much, much more in people’s conversations.”
