Once Upon a Time in Hollywood catapulted the careers of everyone who starred in it. In addition to giving Brad Pitt an Oscar, the movie proved to be a stepping stone for every young actor who worked on it, especially the members of the Manson Family.
Margaret Qualley and Victoria Pedretti, who played Manson Family members PussyCat and Lulu, respectively, have gone on to star in hit TV shows and movies. Austin Butler, who played Tex Watson, won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award for his role as Elvis Presley in the film Elvis.
And now, Mikey Madison, who played Susan "Sadie" Atkins, has joined the ranks of Brad Pitt and won an Oscar for Best Actress.
Following a post on X about Mikey Madison being the first Ghostface to bag an Oscar, fans chimed in with their own hilarious takes.
A user @Bodhi_Tweets was quick to note and share a fun fact in this comment,
"She's the first Manson Family member to win Best Actress"
Besides her work on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Mikey Madison has come a long way from terrorizing people as Ghostface to winning an Oscar. The hard work she had to put in to get to his level is insane. Not many actors can say they had to be burnt alive TWICE to get to where they are today.
Fan reaction to Mikey Madison winning Best Actress at the Oscars 2025
Mikey Madison's fans and fans of the Scream franchise were proud to see one of their own receiving an Oscar. They poured their love and appreciation in the funniest way possible with online comments. Here are a few that will make you chuckle.
Another user, @AdamInHTownTX, reminded everyone of another potential Ghostface who might pull it off,
"And probably the last unless Rory Culkin can pull off what his brother did."
One more X user, @CaptLuffy__, showed us how far Mikey Madison has come,
"From stabbing people in scream to holding an oscar, that's character arc"
Then there is this legendary comment everywhere, and this time @colinkorbelas wrote it,
"We got Ghostface winning an Oscar before GTA 6"
Glad to see @Hirak_Pixel recognizing the horror genre in this comment,
"Ghostface getting an Oscar before some Hollywood legends. Horror staying undefeated"
One netizen @ChefVoxalPaws is reminding everyone of the OG Ghostfaces,
"Stu and Billy are somewhere punching the air"
After starring in movies and TV shows like Liza, Liza, Skies are Grey, Better Thing, Monster, and Nostalgia, Mikey Madison got her big break by starring as a Manson family member, Susan "Sadie" Atkins, in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
After that, she was cast as Amber Freeman in the fifth installment of the Scream franchise and went on a killing spree Billy Lumas would be proud of.
Madison's time to shine came when she was cast as stripper Anora "Ani" Mikheeva in Sean Baker's Anora. The movie received many accolades, including the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and five Oscars at the 97th Academy Awards.
Mickey Madison won a BAFTA, an Independent Spirit Award, and an Oscar for the role, and it looks like things will only go up from here on.
