Amy Madigan gushes over husband Ed Harris in Oscars 2026 speech a

Oscar winner Amy Madigan gave an emotional shout-out and thank you to her husband, Ed Harris.

“The most important [person to thank] is my beloved Ed, who’s been with me forever, and that’s a long ass time,” the 75-year-old — who won best supporting actress for her role in “Weapons” — told the crowd at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Calif.

“None of this would mean anything if he wasn’t by my side,” she noted before the camera panned over to Harris, who placed his hand over his heart.

The couple tied the knot in 1983 and share one daughter, Lily, whom the actress also thanked in her speech.

“I want to thank my beautiful daughter Lily, her husband Sean and of course all the dogs,” she continued.

“This is great,” Madigan enthused before thanking her fellow nominees.

The “Antlers” actress was competing against “Sentimental Value” stars Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Wunmi Mosaku of “Sinners,” and Teyana Taylor, who was nominated for “One Day After Another” and immediately jumped to her feet to applaud Madigan.

“I was in the shower last night trying to think of something to say as I was shaving my legs — I’ve got pants on, I don’t need to worry about that,” she continued playfully.

Madigan, who was previously nominated in the same category in 1985 for her role in “Twice in a Lifetime,” initially looked shocked when last year’s winner Zoe Saldaña announced her as the winner before letting out a maniacal laugh.

The “Uncle Buck” star told Page Six earlier this year that Harris is her biggest cheerleader and urged her to be patient for a great role before she snagged the villainous Aunt Gladys in “Weapons.”

“My husband was always kind of telling me, ‘You just wait. You’re in a perfect spot right now, and something really great is going to come along for you.’”

Madigan admitted at the time that she didn’t really believe him.

“I kind of went, ‘Yeah, sure.’ We’re really good supporters of each other and always have been.”
