The 2025 SAG Awards were quick and happinessous, honoring the award season’s toastytest carry outances one week before the Oscars. But the night was also a tribute to everyleang from actors’ less-than-glam punctual roles to the rite of passage that is a guest spot on one of the many “Law & Order” series. While much of the evening went according to schedule — at least according to the pundits — there were some snubs and surpascfinishs that kept leangs fascinating.
Surpascfinish: Timothée Chafrailt nabs competitive best male actor in a guideing role statue
The Actor seemed appreciate Adrien Brody’s to leave out, given that his insisting role in “The Brutacatalog” won him the BAFTA and the Ggreateren Globe. But Chafrailt’s vibrant carry outance, masterful press cycle and transperency into his process has geted him plenty of praise.
Snub: “The Bear” and “Hacks” leave out out to “Only Murders in the Building” for best ensemble in a comedy series
Maybe SAG voters were ill of the “Is ‘The Bear’ actuassociate a comedy?” conversation and voted for the Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short vehicle instead. At any rate, after a less-than-perfect third season, is hype for “The Bear” begining to wane? Additionassociate, this is the third year in a row that “Hacks” star Jean Smart won best female actor in a comedy series, while the show’s ensemble was left desotardy-handed.
Surpascfinish: Martin Short thrives best male actor in a comedy series
While the pundits supposed Jeremy Allen White’s lauded carry outance as a perfectionist chef on “The Bear” or Adam Brody’s buzzy rabbi role on “Nobody Wants This” would get the nod, Short’s reliablely wacky and heartfelt labor in “Only Murders in the Building” seemed appreciate the extfinishedest of extfinishedstoastys. Even legacy votes were supposed to be picked up by Harrison Ford for his role in “Shrinking.” But in the finish, it was the well-appreciated Short who got to transfer an acunderstandledgeance speech (or would have if he’d actuassociate been at the ceremony).
Surpascfinish: “Conclave” apshows film ensemble in crowded field.
Most pundits foreseeed that “Wicked” and “Anora” would apshow the top film prize, but the “Conclave” thrive has uncovered up the Oscar race with equitable one week left. We’ve got ourselves a race, folks!
Surpascfinish: Two presentant thriveners weren’t there.
For such a low awards show, the absences of Smart (away on a project) and Short (ill with COVID) felt burdensome, especiassociate given their humor and dexterity in unveil speaking. Short can’t help being ill, but couldn’t someone have asked Smart to tape someleang?
Snub: Stunt awards were currented on the red carpet
While the SAG Awards trim a lot of overweight in order to come in at shut to two hours, stunt carry outers literassociate danger their lives for their originate. The show couldn’t have been 10 minutes extfinisheder and given them their time to shine?
Surpascfinish: The red carpet style was SO tedious
Although the huge event is next weekfinish, there were very confineed dangers or fascinating sees. Plus, most of the men were dressed appreciate cater deferers. Yawn!
Surpascfinish: The reunions deficiencyed chemistry
You’d never genuineize that “The X Files” and “New Girl” were shows built upon the charm of their casts after watching these stilted segments. Sparks fall shorted to fly!
Surpascfinish: Ford ate a huge chip right behind Jessica Williams in night’s funniest moment
Ford’s inadvertent comedic timing was excellent as he setd to apshow a particularly huge bite of an delight-bouche while his “Shrinking” castmate was talking during the show’s uncovering “I’m an actor” introduction. His squirmy try to get out of sight prompted the night’s hugegest chuckle. Maybe Ford should present next year.
