SAG Awards 2025 winners in full as Shogun takes home four major prizes
'Shogun' was the big winner at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Sunday night, taking home four prizes including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
The FX series 'Shogun' emerged as the top victor at this year's Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, bagging four accolades.
The show clinched the prestigious Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series award at Sunday's ceremony (23.02.25), with cast members Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada also scoring individual acting wins.
Additionally, the stunt team of the programme was honoured during the pre-show segment with the Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series award.
Upon receiving their ensemble award, Hiroyuki acknowledged the risk involved in creating the show. Addressing the audience at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, he said: "Thank you so much for recognising us. This is so special because it is from you guys. Thank you FX and creator Justin, Rachel for respecting our culture and belief in us."
He added: "It was a great journey and 70 percent Japanese, with subtitles, it must have been a big gamble for them. They were so brave but 'Shogun' and this award is showing is that acting is a universal language. Thank you so much. ".
In other highlights from the ceremony, Selena Gomez confessed it felt "weird" for 'Only Murders in the Building' to receive the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series award, especially since co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short were absent. This meant that Short couldn't accept his Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series award, marking his first win at the ceremony at the ripe age of 74.
Absentee winners included Hacks' star Jean Smart, who bagged the top female honour. In the TV categories, other notable winners were Colin Farrell for 'The Penguin' and Jessica Gunning for 'Baby Reindeer', who secured Outstanding Performance in a Television Movie or Limited Series accolades.
In the movie arena, 'Conclave' grabbed the night's top prize - Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Individual honours for leading performances went to Timothee Chalamet for 'A Complete Unknown' and Demi Moore for 'The Substance'.
In his acceptance speech, Timothee laid bare his aspirations to be considered one of "the greats". He stated: "I can't downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me and I know it is a subjective business but the truth is I'm really in pursuit of greatness."
He added: "I know people don't usually talk like that but I want to be one of the greats, I'm inspired by the greats that are here tonight." Citing iconic figures such as Daniel Day Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis, as well as sports superstars Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps, he expressed his desire to join their ranks.
Supporting actor honours were bestowed upon Kieran Culkin for 'A Real Pain' and Zoe Saldana for 'Emilia Perez'. Hollywood legend Jane Fonda was celebrated with a Lifetime Achievement award.
The In Memoriam segment at this year’s ceremony was introduced by Lisa Kudrow, providing a poignant moment as she honoured the stars we've lost, including James Earl Jones and Shelley Duvall. Kudrow captured hearts with her touching words: "We can all remember the first time an actor's performance had an impact on us. Laughing to the point of tears, or being moved to the point of tears by a deep truth being brought to light on screen."
She continued to remind everyone why we cherish actors so much, saying: "Great performances create meaning and inspire connection. And while the passing of an actor can feel like a great loss, we can also feel gratitude for the enduring works they've left behind for us."
The show was hosted by Kristen Bell who began with a playful nod to her iconic 'Frozen' tune, transforming 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' into a haven’t-we-all-been-there parody titled 'Do You Want to Be an Actor?', complete with throwback clips of celebs in their debut days.
Among the evening's victors at the SAG Awards 2025 were some stellar names: Timothée Chalamet lifted the trophy for his leading role in 'A Complete Unknown', while Demi Moore shone as Best Female Actor in a Leading Role for 'The Substance'. Kieran Culkin nabbed Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role for 'A Real Pain', and Zoe Saldana was lauded for her supporting turn in 'Emilia Pérez'.
Meanwhile, 'The Fall Guy' clinched the accolade for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture. Colin Farrell bagged the award for 'The Penguin' in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series.
