The 98th Academy Awards are tonight, and things have gotten off to a great start as Amy Madigan has taken home the trophy for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Weapons. This is Taylor's 2nd nomination and 1st win, marking a historic moment for the iconic star who has over 40 years between her nomination for Weapons and her first nomination for Twice in a Lifetime — the longest ever period of time between nominations for an Academy Award nominee in history. It is also the 1st and only nomination for the film, but it is still a big win for the horror genre, which has often been cast aside at the historic award show.
