What's the story
Actor Amy Madigan took home the Best Supporting Actress award at the ongoing 98th Academy Awards on Sunday (Monday morning IST).

Details
Supporting Actress category has been very competitive this year
Madigan's short but impactful role won against heavyweights like Teyana Taylor from One Battle After Another, Wunmi Mosaku in Sinners, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (Sentimental Value), and Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value). The Best Supporting Actress category has been one of the buzziest this year, with Taylor picking up the Golden Globes, Mosaku winning at the BAFTAs, and Madigan won at the 2026 Actor Awards.
