2025 SAG Award Winners: Demi Moore Takes Best Female Actor Prize

The SAG-AFRA Awards took place on Sunday night, February 23, hosted by Kristen Bell, and featuring many star-studded introducers, such as Quinta Brunson, Zooey Deschanel, Max Greenfield, Kerry Washington and many more.

Top nominees included Wicked, which entered the night with five nominations, A Complete Unknown with four nominations and Emilia Pérez close behind the other two with three nominations.

Mikey Madison’s Anora was surprisingly shut out of the award ceremony, despite dominating at the Spirit Awards on Saturday and Madison receiving a BAFTA Award for her performance.

As always, the awards have triggered a slew of upset fans protesting the night’s winners. A particularly scorned decision was Martin Short being awarded Male Actor in a Comedy Series, after beating out competition such as Jeremy Allen White from The Bear.

Following their previous Emmy and Golden Globe win, Shōgun swept with three awards, with actors Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai taking home Male and Female Actor in a Drama Series and winning Best Drama Ensemble Cast.

Longtime actress and activist Jane Fonda was presented with her SAG Life Achievement Award. On stage, Fonda, 87, thanked the audience. “This means the world to me,” she said. “And your enthusiasm makes this seem less like a twilight of my life and more like a ‘go girl, kick a–’ — which is good because I’m not done.” She went on to give a passionate speech about America’s political climate and the need for rebellion among the people and actors specifically.

The guild canceled the in-person announcement of the nominees last month due to the wildfires erupting across Los Angeles, sharing the news online instead.
