Harrison Ford was playful on the red carpet
Harrison Ford was clearly feeling playful on the red carpet; the actor hid behind a curtain…
Kristen Bell nailed her opening monologue
Kristen Bell, host of this year’s SAG Awards, nailed her opening monologue. The actress began by poignantly paying tribute to LAFD firefighters. She then had the audience in stitches by singing a parody version of ‘Do You Want A Build A Snowman?’ from Frozen. The new lyrics hilariously highlighted how various actors from Jamie Lee Curtis to Selena Gomez got their start in acting.
Timothée Chalamet stuffed up while presenting
Poor Timothée Chalamet stuffed up while presenting during the ceremony; he clearly couldn’t read the teleprompter and so, there was an awkward pause. The actor played it off effortlessly, joking that he “should’ve had a rehearsal.”
There was a The Good Place reunion
During the ceremony, Ted Danson, and William Jackson Harper hilariously interrupted Kristen while she was presenting. It’s the first time the three have been together since The Good Place.
Jamie Lee Curtis revealed she got COVID at the Golden Globes
When Jamie Lee Curtis presented the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series, she hilariously said, “And the award goes to the man who gave me COVID at the Golden Globes, Colin Farrell.” The Penguin actor replied with, “Guilty as charged,” before revealing Brendan Gleeson gave it to him.
Jane Fonda took home a Life Achievement Award
Icon Jane Fonda was awarded with a Life Achievement Award at this year’s SAG Awards. She rightfully was given a standing ovation as she took to the stage and said during her acceptance speech:
“This means the world to me… And your enthusiasm makes this less of a twilight moment of my life and more of a, ‘You go girl, kick ass’ moment, which is good because I’m not done!”
She went on to talk about her career and the importance of unions before she joked, “And I can summon voices,” when there was a tech problem and an announcer’s voice accidentally started when Jane was mid-speech.
Jane then emotionally advocated for women as well as empathy.
“Being empathetic isn’t woke. And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.”
Keke Palmer made the guests play a drinking game
Keke Palmer — while presenting Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role with Colman Domingo — jokingly told anyone in the audience who’s appeared in an episode of Law and Order to take a drink. The camera then panned to Zoe Saldana, who obliged and took a sip of wine. Zoe then won the award!
There was a The X Files reunion
Another reunion! Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny — who starred in The X Files together for nine years — presented the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
There were two New Girl reunions
The 2025 SAG Awards was just full of reunions! Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield, who both starred in New Girl, presented the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series together. Then backstage, Zooey shared a hug with Jamie Lee Curtis who played her character’s mother on New Girl.
Only Murders in the Building finally won some awards
Only Murders in the Building has been nominated for several awards this awards season but has never won… Until now! At the SAG Awards, the comedy show took home Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Selena Gomez accepted the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and joked, “We never win!”
She then thanked her co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, who weren’t at the ceremony, before saying, “I’m bringing this back to New York for Season 5.”
Lisa Kudrow presented the In Memoriam section
Lisa Kudrow took to the stage during the SAG Awards to introduce the In Memoriam section. It paid tribute to Bob Newhart, Shannen Doherty, Kris Kristofferson, Gena Rowlands, Teri Garr, David Lynch, Donald Sutherland, Maggie Smith, James Earl Jones, and more.
Fran Drescher gave a passionate speech about climate change
Fran Drescher, President of SAG-AFTRA, took to the stage to give a passionate speech about the LA wildfires. During her speech, she begged everyone in the audience and watching from home to stop denying climate change.
“Wake up humans,” she said. “We can’t let greed continue to deny climate change!”
Timothée Chalamet thanked Bob Dylan
During his acceptance speech for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, Timothée Chalamet thanked Bob Dylan. He described Bob as “a true American hero” and said it was the honour of his life to play him in A Complete Unknown.
