Ed Harris is celebrating his wife Amy Madigan’s Academy Award nomination for Weapons.

While at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Harris, 75, gushed about Madigan, also 75, to The Associated Press, saying, “I’m the husband of an Oscar nominee. I’m very proud of her.”

Madigan received her second Oscar nomination on Jan. 22 in the Best Supporting Actress category alongside Sentimental Value stars Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, as well as Wunmi Mosaku (Sinners) and Teyana Taylor (One Battle After Another).

“I think she blew everybody’s mind with Gladys,” Harris said of Madigan’s performance in Weapons, a horror movie that follows several characters in a small town weeks after a group of elementary school students go missing. Madigan’s Gladys, an eccentric villain with supernatural powers, immediately turned into a fan-favorite when the movie released in August.

“[Writer-director Zach Cregger] is a really good filmmaker, you know, the construction of that film and how it’s told. It’s a really good movie,” Harris said of the movie.

“Well, she was in Atlanta working, so it was all mystery to me,” he added, when asked what living with Madigan was like as she filmed the movie. “She would send me photos and I’d go ‘Oh, wow. Okay, babe. Go for it.’ So she’s — it’s a little bit nutty, because awards season is so hectic, for a woman, especially, but she’s hanging in there. We’ll see what happens on the big day.”

Madigan already won Best Supporting Actress for Weapons at the Critics’ Choice Awards earlier this month, and she and Harris attended the Golden Globes together on Jan. 11 as a well. Madigan told PEOPLE on Jan. 22 that she felt “just kind of stunned by the whole journey that I’ve been on” after receiving her second Oscar nomination; she was previously nominated in 1986 for her performance in Twice in a Lifetime.

“This is just kind of another piece of it that I was not expecting, but I’m just very happy and gratified and it’s just a reflection on the film Weapons and how people are responding to it. So that — nothing is a better feeling than that.”

Conan O’Brien is returning to host the Oscars live on Sunday, March 15, at 7 p.m. ET on ABC and streaming on Hulu.

Before the Academy Awards, Madigan is also nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role at The Actor Awards (formerly the Screen Actors Guild Awards) on March 1.
