Amy Madigan has opened up about the impact of her character Gladys in 'Weapons' following her Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress. Speaking to the press after her win, Madigan spoke about how Gladys is 'inspiring', and that people relate to her because she is 'just trying to survive'. Madigan previously said in an interview with Variety that many in the queer community have embraced Gladys as a “gay icon,” drawn to her flamboyant style, theatrical energy, and unapologetically campy vibe. “People actually like Aunt Gladys. They kind of want to hang out with her. I’m very, very happy and grateful that the gay community and the drag community have really accepted Gladys. The people that I’ve talked to have said, “We’re the other. We’re the outsider, and we’re not supposed to fit in, and Gladys does in a weird way.” And now they have really helped her spread her magic around,” Madigan said. #Oscars #AuntGladys #AmyMadigan #Weapons #BestSupportingActress
