Amy Madigan Awards Season Style: Tailoring, Comfort, and Red Carpet Suits Amy Madigan has become a standout figure on the awards season red carpet this year, thanks to her bold yet elegant approach to suiting, guided by her stylist Andrew Gelwicks. The actress, known for her iconic roles in films like Field of Dreams and Weapons, has captivated audiences with her ability to blend comfort, playfulness, and sophistication in her outfits. Gelwicks, a Gen-X fashion expert with a roster of legendary clients including Molly Ringwald and Rosie Perez, has helped Madigan craft looks that feel both timeless and fresh. Madigan’s journey to awards season stardom began with her Oscar nomination for Weapons, where she portrayed the enigmatic Aunt Gladys. Her performance, which surprised many with its depth and nuance, has been matched by her sartorial choices. Gelwicks emphasizes that his goal is to showcase Madigan in a new light, highlighting her unique personality and strength. “Amy is such an exciting moment for me,” he says. “I wanted to show how special she is through her fashion.” The stylist’s approach to Madigan’s wardrobe is rooted in a balance between comfort and elegance. For events like the Critics’ Choice Awards and the Indie Spirit Awards, Gelwicks has focused on tailored suits that allow Madigan to move freely while maintaining a polished appearance. One standout look was a custom velvet tuxedo jacket from Dior, paired with a crisp white shirt and fringed scarf. The outfit, which Madigan wore to accept her SAG Actor Award, was described as regal and sophisticated, with the baby blue scarf adding a touch of lightness and movement. Gelwicks also experimented with more unconventional designs, such as a sculptural Bottega Veneta suit featuring a loosely knotted tie-cravat hybrid and pleated pants.#weapons #amy_madigan #andrew_gelwicks #field_of_dreams #critics_choice_awards
The Perfect Neighbor Wins 5 Critics Choice Awards, Now Streaming on Netflix A minor neighborhood conflict in Ocala, Florida, escalated into a tragic act of violence in June 2023 when beloved mother Ajike ‘AJ’ Owens was fatally shot by her neighbor Susan Lorincz over children playing in a field. The incident, which ignited national conversations about racism, gun violence, and Stand Your Ground laws, is the subject of the Oscar-nominated Netflix documentary The Perfect Neighbor. The film, directed by Geeta Gandbhir, has swept the Critics Choice Documentary Awards, winning five major honors, including Best Documentary Feature, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Archival Documentary, and Best True Crime Documentary. It is now streaming on Netflix following its October 17, 2025, release. Gandbhir, who now holds rare double Oscar nominations for 2026, transformed raw police body camera footage into a powerful investigation of the tragedy. The documentary examines how months of escalating tensions, including complaints and police visits, led to the irreversible consequences of privilege and weaponized fear. The film’s unflinching portrayal of the events, captured through shaky, poorly-lit footage and audio recordings, highlights the deadly intersection of systemic issues and personal conflict. The director’s personal connection to the story deepened after the tragedy claimed her family friend. Gandbhir gained exclusive access to extensive body camera footage and audio recordings through Freedom of Information Act requests by Owens’ family attorneys. Rather than retraumatize the community with new interviews, she chose to immerse herself in the police perspective, preserving the unvarnished truth of the events.#critics_choice_awards #ajike_owens #susan_lorincz #geeta_gandbhir #ocala_florida
