In a continuation of her sportsmanship at the 2026 Oscars, Teyana Taylor posted a supportive Instagram Stories message praising Amy Madigan's genuine love for her craft on and off screen, following her defense against backlash for enthusiastically celebrating Madigan's Best Supporting Actress win.
This comes after Taylor, who was also nominated for her role in 'One Battle After Another,' leapt to her feet applauding when Zoe Saldaña announced Madigan's win for 'Weapons'—a reaction that drew online criticism, as previously reported. Taylor had already responded to critics emphasizing grace in winning and losing. Now, highlighting Madigan's authenticity, Taylor's message underscores her ongoing positivity amid the Oscars buzz, including the Academy's praise for her handling of a backstage security incident.
