The 2025 SAG Awards honoured top performances in film and television, with Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, and Kieran Culkin among the key winners, celebrating outstanding talent across drama and comedy.
The 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards honoured the most outstanding achievements in film and television, recognising the year’s most compelling performances. As one of the most prestigious ceremonies in the entertainment industry, the event served as a platform to acknowledge the contributions of actors whose work has had a significant impact on audiences and critics alike. The evening was marked by heartfelt speeches, unexpected victories, and notable industry milestones.
In the highly anticipated category of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, Timothée Chalamet emerged victorious for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, a performance widely lauded for its depth and authenticity. Meanwhile, Demi Moore received the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her transformative role in The Substance, reaffirming her position as a distinguished performer within the industry.
The supporting acting categories were equally competitive, with Kieran Culkin securing the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his work in A Real Pain. Zoe Saldaña’s compelling performance in Emilia Pérez earned her the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role, further cementing her reputation as a formidable talent.
The accolade for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture was awarded to Conclave, an ensemble film featuring esteemed actors such as Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci. The film’s gripping narrative and the ensemble’s synergy contributed to its well-deserved recognition.
In the television categories, Shōgun dominated the drama awards, with Hiroyuki Sanada winning Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series and Anna Sawai receiving the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. Their portrayals of multifaceted characters garnered widespread acclaim. In the comedy categories, Martin Short was awarded Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Only Murders in the Building, while Jean Smart’s performance in Hacks earned her the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.
