In a year packed with big shiny titles like Wicked: For Good and all the usual awards bait, Zach Cregger’s WEAPONS quietly kept doing its thing… and now it just muscled its way into the Golden Globes conversation. The film landed two #GoldenGlobes nominations:
- Cinematic & Box Office Achievement
- Best Supporting Performance in a Motion Picture – Amy Madigan (Aunt Gladys)
Not bad at all.
Amy Madigan has been creeping up on every horror fan’s radar this year as a full-on horror icon, and now the Globes have stamped that in ink. She even said she was “incredibly moved” to be recognized for Aunt Gladys and for the film’s box office nod – calling it a testament to Zach Cregger’s vision and the whole team that built this terrifying character.
Will it actually win? Who knows. But the fact that this twisted, grief-soaked horror movie about missing kids and one nightmare aunt is standing next to the “serious” films is unbelievable. Even if it walks away empty-handed, WEAPONS and Aunt Gladys are getting the attention they deserve.
