00:00We never win. This is so weird."
00:02The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards was a night full of celebration,
00:06laughs, and surprises.
00:08Timothee Chalamet was visibly shocked as he won Outstanding Performance by a Male
00:11Actor in a Leading Role for A Complete Unknown.
00:13He told the audience it was the honor of a lifetime to portray Bob Dylan,
00:17and said that he was in pursuit of greatness in his craft.
00:20I want to be one of the greats. I'm inspired by the greats. I'm inspired by the greats here
00:23tonight. I'm as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as I am by
00:29Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there.
00:31Demi Moore took home the award for Female Actor in a Leading Role for The Substance,
00:35and she emotionally reflected on her start in the industry,
00:38and everyone who helped her on her journey.
00:40That little girl, that little girl who didn't believe in herself,
00:49there's just the words are kind of beyond me, so I'm just going to have to just say thank you.
00:55Best Cast in a Motion Picture went to Conclave,
00:57while Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldana scored wins in the supporting role categories.
01:01Kieran peppered his speech with his signature humor,
01:04going on a hilarious tangent about how his award was heavy to hold.
01:07It is funny that the heaviest of all awards is the one that's given by actors.
01:11It's like, you know, us, what we do means so much.
01:18When Zoe accepted her award, she shared her gratitude for SAG-AFTRA,
01:22and wove in issues important to her and to her film, Amelia Perez.
01:25I am proud to be a part of a union that allows me to be who I am,
01:30and I've never been questioned about where I come from,
01:33and judged by how I speak, or what my pronouns are.
01:38I believe that everybody has the right to be who they are,
01:41and Amelia Perez is about truth, and it is about love.
01:44When it came to television, Shogun came out on top in the drama categories,
01:48with Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai taking home outstanding performance
01:51by a male actor and a female actor, respectively,
01:54and the whole cast winning Best Ensemble.
01:56Hiroyuki thanked FX for supporting the Japanese-language series.
02:00Acting is a universal language. Thank you so much!
02:06Best Ensemble in a comedy series went to Only Murders in the Building,
02:09which took Selena Gomez by surprise.
02:11She accepted the award without her co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short by her side,
02:15and joked about the reason for their absence.
02:17Marty and Steve aren't here because, you know, they don't really care.
02:21But I...
02:22Steve and Martin actually had a comedy tour date on the day of the SAG Awards,
02:26but they had to postpone it after Martin came down with COVID.
02:29The topic of COVID came up earlier in the show,
02:31when Jamie Lee Curtis presented Colin Farrell an award
02:34for his titular performance in The Penguin.
02:36Goes to the man who gave me COVID at the Golden Globes, Colin Farrell.
02:41Guilty as charged.
02:44But Brendan Gleeson f***ing gave it to me, so I was just spreading the love.
02:49Jane Fonda took home the night's Lifetime Achievement Award
02:52and made it clear that even after decades of success, her drive is stronger than ever.
02:56Your enthusiasm makes this seem,
02:58I don't know, less like a late twilight of my life and more like a go-girl kick-ass,
03:05which is good because I'm not done.
03:07She also took the opportunity to speak out about the current political climate
03:10and her take on wokeness.
03:12Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke.
03:16And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.
03:19The Night was hosted by Kristen Bell, who opened the show with a musical monologue
03:23that surprised the attendees with glimpses of their first on-screen acting roles.
03:27Throughout the show, she had funny bits reuniting with her colleagues of past and present,
03:31including Nobody Wants This' Adam Brody,
03:33and Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Jason Segel,
03:35and The Good Place's Ted Danson and William Jackson Harper,
03:38who hilariously fought over who was her favorite co-star, Challenger style.
03:44Throughout the award show, there were some slight technical hiccups,
03:47but the stars didn't miss a beat.
03:48When one audio error could be heard, Jane Fonda quickly made the audience laugh.
