Oscars 2026 Best Dressed Celebrities: Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña & More
Jessie Buckley is hamming it up at the 2026 Oscars.
Indeed, after the Hamnet star was named Best Actress in a Leading Role at the awards show—hosted by Conan O’Brien at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood March 15—she revealed the surprising way her family was able to attend the ceremony.
“My family, my Irish family, they're all here,” Jessie said from stage. “Ireland bought them flights.”
And because they were in-person, she was able to praise them to their faces.
“Mom, dad, thank you for teaching us to dream,” the 36-year-old continued, “and to never be defined by expectation, but to carve from your own passion.”
Jessie also gave a rare shoutout to her husband Freddie Sorensen, with whom she shares 8-month-old daughter Isla.
“Fred, I love you, man,” she shared. “You're the most incredible Dad. You're my best friend, and I want to have 20,000 more babies with you.”
“And Isla, my little girl, who is 8 months, who has absolutely no idea what's going on and is probably dreaming of milk,” Jessie added, “I love you, and I love being your mom, and I can't wait to discover life beside you.”
Ahead of the ceremony, Jessie—who was nominated alongside Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue, Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value and Emma Stone for Bugonia—built a reputation for delivering powerful speeches as she collected multiple awards for her performance as William Shakespeare’s wife Agnes in the Chloé Zhao period piece.
During the Actor Awards earlier this month, she praised her costar Emily Watson for inspiring her career.
“Your wild imagination, your brave, untethered womanhood, your ferocious gentleness is a guiding light to me,” Jessie said during her acceptance speech. “The best advice that you always give to me is to always go back to the well of just being human.”
She added, “You're the realest of the real. I love and cherish being part of this community.”

Jessie—who scored her first Oscar nod for starring alongside Olivia Colman in 2021’s The Lost Daughter—also made waves when she told costar Paul Mescal at the Golden Globes in January, “I could drink you like water.”
As for what she meant by that?
“I meant that he is essential to what I need and what I’ve discovered as an actor is possible, in what we do in our work,” Jessie explained to reporters backstage at the event. “He brings you to the core of your humanity, and once you know what that is—it becomes like water.”
In addition to Jessie, read on to see who else took home Oscars gold at the 2026 ceremony.
