The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards lit up Los Angeles on February 23, 2025, delivering a night of glamour, surprises, and heartfelt moments. Hosted by the charming Kristen Bell, the event streamed live on Netflix from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall, celebrating the finest performances in film and television over the past year.

With stars like Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, Zoe Saldaña, and Kieran Culkin walking away with coveted statues, the ceremony offered a thrilling preview of what might unfold at the Oscars on March 2. Here’s everything you need to know about the complete list of winners and the standout moments that made this night unforgettable.

Who Took Home the Top Film Awards at the 2025 SAG Awards?

The film categories delivered some unexpected twists. Conclave, a gripping papal thriller starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini, snagged the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, beating out heavyweights like Wicked and Anora. Timothée Chalamet shocked prognosticators by winning Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his transformative portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, edging out Adrien Brody (The Brutalist).

Demi Moore continued her awards-season resurgence, earning the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her raw, emotional turn in The Substance. In the supporting categories, Kieran Culkin won for A Real Pain, while Zoe Saldaña triumphed for Emilia Pérez, cementing their status as Oscar frontrunners.

Which TV Shows and Stars Dominated the 2025 SAG Awards?

On the television front, Shōgun reigned supreme, securing three wins, including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai also claimed individual honors for Best Actor and Best Actress in a Drama Series, respectively, for their roles in the FX epic. Only Murders in the Building brought home the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, with Martin Short winning Best Actor in a Comedy Series—an award accepted on his behalf due to his absence.

Jean Smart added another trophy to her collection, winning Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Hacks. In the limited series categories, Colin Farrell (The Penguin) and Jessica Gunning (Baby Reindeer) emerged victorious, rounding out a stellar night for TV talent.

What Were the Biggest Surprises at the 2025 SAG Awards?

The night wasn’t short on jaw-dropping moments. Chalamet’s upset over Brody, who had dominated the season thus far, sent ripples through the awards chatter, with the 29-year-old declaring his pursuit of greatness in a stirring speech. Conclave’s ensemble win over Wicked—which entered with a field-leading five nominations but left empty-handed—shifted the Best Picture Oscar conversation, especially after Anora’s earlier guild sweeps.

Selena Gomez’s emotional reaction to Only Murders in the Building’s ensemble win, after years of near-misses, also tugged at heartstrings, with her noting, “We never win!” These surprises underscored the SAG Awards’ reputation as a key Oscar bellwether.

Who Received the SAG Life Achievement Award in 2025?

Jane Fonda was the night’s emotional centerpiece, receiving the SAG Life Achievement Award from Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The 87-year-old icon, celebrated for her six-decade career and activism, used her platform to urge actors to lead with empathy and bravery in challenging times. “This is big time serious folks, so let’s be brave,” Fonda said, invoking characters like Norma Rae and Tom Joad.

Her speech resonated deeply, tying the night’s theme of community and resilience to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s efforts, which support members through disaster relief and career programs.

How Do the 2025 SAG Awards Impact the Oscars?

With actors forming the largest voting bloc in the Academy, the SAG Awards often predict Oscar outcomes. The last three ensemble winners—Oppenheimer, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and CODA—went on to claim Best Picture, and Conclave’s win keeps the race fluid. Chalamet, Moore, Culkin, and Saldaña’s victories bolster their Oscar chances, though the unpredictable season, marked by split wins like Moore versus Mikey Madison (Anora), suggests anything could happen on March 2. The SAG Awards have once again set the stage for an exhilarating Oscars showdown.
