Kieran Culkin Hilariously Shading Adrien Brody, Selena Gomez's Unfiltered Reaction To Her Win, And 10 More Of The Funniest Moments From The 2025 SAG Awards
Last night's SAG awards gave us plenty to talk about, from unexpected wins and rousing speeches to some hilarious gags. And while the glitz and glam of the evening had us all wowed, there were, as always, a couple of malfunctions and surprise moments along the way.
So, I've gone ahead and rounded up my personal favorite, funny, and awkward moments from the night for us all to enjoy. Let's dive in!
1. Timothée Chalamet 's hilarious reaction to winning Best Male Actor
Netflix
Before giving one of the most talked about speeches of the night, Timothée's stunned reaction to his Best Male Actor win for A Complete Unknown was definitely a standout moment. Hearing your name called for such a prestigious award would have anyone shocked, but Timmy's face had folks online cracking up.
Some viewers even pointed out the similarity between Timothée's reaction and his Lady Bird costar Saoirse Ronan 's adorable reaction to winning at the recent IFTA awards, and I literally can't get over them.
can get over the fact that timothée literally had this exact reaction to winning a sag award

2. Jamie Lee Curtis called out Colin Farrell for giving her Covid at the Golden Globes while presenting his award
Netflix
Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell received his first-ever SAG award last night for The Penguin, but the announcement of his win wasn't quite what we all expected.
Thankfully, Colin took Jamie's callout in his stride, kicking off his speech by saying, 'Guilty as charged. But Brendan Gleeson fucking gave it to me! So I was just spreading the love.'
3. Selena Gomez's genuinely shocked reaction to Only Murders In The Building 's win
Netflix
Only Murders In The Building took home a surprise win for Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble In A Comedy Series — and it seems as though no one was more shocked than Selena herself.
Selena Gomez i will never be a meme again
Also her reactions:

4. Martin Short and Steve Martin's absence from the ceremony, and Selena poking fun at them onstage

Selena continued her speech to explain her Only Murders In The Building costars' absence, saying, 'Marty and Steve aren't here because, you know, they don't really care.'
However, it's worth noting that Martin's absence was actually due to him contracting COVID-19 at the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary show last week, as Steve recently shared. Martin seemingly caught it off Maya Rudolph, and Steve joked that the ' SNL curse is real.'
okay Selena Gomez has jokes during her SAG speech lol
"Marty and Steve aren't here because, you know, they don't really care"

5. Joey King totally panicked when Martin Short wasn't there to collect his individual award
Netflix
Along with winning in the ensemble category, Martin was also awarded his first-ever individual SAG award for Outstanding Male Actor In A Comedy Series. But it looked like someone forgot to mention that he was absent, as presenters Joey King and Jack Quaid were left floundering.
Joey King was STRESSING when Martin Short didn't approach the stage after his name was called at the SAG Awards lol

6. The teleprompter in general, actually

Viewers at home noticed that there seemed to be a lot of moments where actors flubbed their lines while reading from the teleprompter. From the Anora cast reading the stage directions, to Timothée admitting he 'should've gone to rehearsals,' folks online were asking the real questions — like, was the teleprompter broken or just really small?
lol Timothée Chalamet messing up while presenting at the SAG Awards and then interrupting himself to say "I should have done a rehearsal"

7. Harrison Ford looking exceptionally guilty as he was caught eating on camera
Netflix
As is customary, the show began with a selection of stars describing their actor origin stories — but Shrinking star Jessica Williams may have had her spotlight stolen by a hungry Harrison Ford sitting right behind her.
Jessica Williams yelling at Harrison Ford throughout her I Am An Actor speech is so precious. #SAGAwards

8. Jane Fonda Vs. The Sound System
Netflix
While Jane accepted her Lifetime Achievement award and gave a legendary speech, the sound system was unfortunately malfunctioning — but she handled it in the absolute smoothest way possible. Give her another award just for that.
9. The Law & Order drinking challenge
One of my fave viral moments from the night — Keke Palmer and Colman Domingo challenging the audience to drink if they had been on Law & Order. Cut to everyone and their mother taking a sip.
LOL Keke Palmer and Colman Domingo asked every celeb to take a drink if they ever appeared on Law & Order, and practically the entire SAG audience had to take a sip lol

11. Kristen Bell's Challengers joke with the cast of The Good Place
Netflix
And Kristen's hilarious moments didn't stop there — she joined Ted Danson and William Jackson Harper to make a reference to Challengers, hastily exiting once things heated up between Ted and William.
huge day for a very niche audience

And while there are definitely a couple of honorable mentions for funny and awkward moments, including Kristen's Frozen parody and Lilly Singh's questionable red-carpet interviews, my personal favorite moment of the night was definitely the Best Supporting Male Actor speech.
And finally, 12. Every single thing that went down during Kieran Culkin's completely unhinged acceptance speech
And while there are definitely a couple of honorable mentions for funny and awkward moments, including Kristen's Frozen parody and Lilly Singh's questionable red-carpet interviews, my personal favorite moment of the night was definitely the Best Supporting Male Actor speech.
While Kieran is definitely known for his unconventional speeches, this one might just be my favorite of all time. The show's running joke was how heavy the awards were and it seemed like Kieran could not physically stop riffing about the 'heft' of the statues. So much so that he had to give his actual speech in about five seconds after being told to wrap it up by the tiny teleprompter.
Kieran Culkin's Full SAG Awards acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor!
