Jessie Buckley has won Best Actress at the 98th Academy Awards for her role as Agnes in Chloé Zhao's Hamnet.
"We all come from a lineage of women who continue to create against all odds," Buckley told the crowd in her acceptance speech, adding that it was Mother's Day in the UK. Buckley also won Best Actress in a Drama at the 2026 Golden Globes. This is her second Oscar nomination and first win, having been nominated back in 2021 for Best Supporting Actress for Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Lost Daughter.
