SAG Awards 2025 LIVE Updates: Timothee Chalamet, Demi Moore, Conclave take top film honours; Shogun dominates television categories
The red carpet was a spectacle of glamour and style, setting the tone for the night's festivities. Selena Gomez captivated onlookers in an elegant off-the-shoulder black gown, while Jamie Lee Curtis turned heads adorned in feathers and sequins while Nicola Coughlan brought old Hollywood glam. Kaitlyn Dever opted for a sheer peach dress, and Sofia Carson stunned in a striking peony pink creation, complemented by nearly 100 carats of Chopard diamonds, including an 88.48-carat necklace. Millie Bobby Brown, Elle Fanning, and Fran Drescher also graced the event, each showcasing unique fashion statements.
The evening's outcomes will provide clarity to an unpredictable awards season. Wicked leads the SAG Awards nominations with five nods, including Outstanding Cast, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. The Jon M. Chu musical has yet to secure a major awards win, but the Screen Actors Guild often leans toward populist favourites.
Competing for Outstanding Cast alongside Wicked are Anora, The Brutalist, Conclave, and A Complete Unknown. Sean Baker's Anora, after securing victories at the Producers Guild Awards, Directors Guild Awards, and the Independent Spirit Awards, is a strong contender for Best Picture. However, Edward Berger's "Conclave," which recently triumphed at the BAFTAs, added intrigue to the race.
Individual performances were also spotlighted. The Best Actor and Best Actress races promise to be intense. While Adrien Brody (The Brutalist) has dominated the season, Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown) and Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) remain strong contenders for an upset. On the Best Actress front, Demi Moore (The Substance) and Mikey Madison (Anora) are in a tight battle for the win.
In the supporting categories, Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) and Zoe Saldana (Emilia Pérez) are considered frontrunners.
Beyond the competitive awards, Hollywood legend Jane Fonda will receive the prestigious SAG Life Achievement Award, honouring her storied career and lasting impact on the industry.
The television categories were equally competitive. Shōgun leads with five nominations and is a favourite to win Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Abbott Elementary continued its successful streak by securing Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series nom, while 'The Bear' will hope to cook up a storm once again this year.
A highlight of the evening is the SAG Life Achievement Award which will be bestowed on to the legendary Jane Fonda.

Timothée Chalamet on best actor at SAG Awards: I want to be one of the greats
Timothée Chalamet won best male actor at the 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards, upsetting Adrien Brody and putting the 29-year-old on course to possibly win his first Academy Award.
Chalamet looked visibly surprised when his name was announced at the ceremony Sunday night. But once he reached the staged, he spoke with composure and confidence.
“The truth is, this was 5 ½ years of my life," said Chalamet of “A Complete Unknown.” “I poured everything I had into playing this incomparable artist, Mr. Bob Dylan, a true American hero. It was the honour of a lifetime playing him.”
He then added: “The truth is I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats.”

Jane Fonda supplies SAG Awards with a moment of fiery political resistance
The 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards showered yet more awards on “Shōgun," handed “A Real Pain” co-star Kieran Culkin another supporting actor win and featured a fiery moment of political resistance from Jane Fonda on Sunday.
Fonda, 87, given the guild's Life Achievement Award, provided the evening with its most political moment of protest. Fonda, a famed activist, spoke indirectly about President Donald Trump's administration.
“We are in our documentary moment,” said Fonda. “This is it. And it's not a rehearsal.”
Fonda added that “woke just means you give a damn about other people.”
“A whole lot of people are going to be hurt by what’s happening, by what’s coming our way,” said Fonda. “We are going to need a big tent to resist what’s coming at us.”

SAG Award host Kristen Bell's opening 'musical' act goes viral
The 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards kicked off Sunday night with host Kristen Bell paying tribute to Los Angeles firefighters and another supporting actor win for “A Real Pain” co-star Kieran Culkin.
Bell introduced the ceremony, streaming live on Netflix from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, as an ode to both the aspirational spirit of actors who come to Los Angeles to make it, and to the city, itself.
The SAG Awards unfolded against the backdrop of the devastating wildfires that began in early January. Those fires forced the guild to cancel its in-person nominations announcement and launched a disaster relief fund for SAG-AFTRA members affected.
Before singing “Do You Want to Be an Actor?” to tune of “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” from “Frozen,” Bell introduced attending firefighters as “the most attractive tables” among a sea of stars.

How SAG Aards plans to address the Los Angeles wildfires
The devastating wildfires that began in early January forced the guild to cancel its in-person nominations announcement and instead issue a press release. The guild has launched a disaster relief fund for SAG-AFTRA members affected by the fires. Producers have said the show will honour those affected.
Who's nominated by SAG?
"Wicked” comes in the leading film nominee, with five nods, while “Shōgun” heads the TV categories.
Jon M. Chu’s hit musical hasn’t yet had a major awards win, but the Screen Actors Guild has often favoured populist contenders. Also up for best ensemble are “Anora,” “The Brutalist,” “Conclave” and “A Complete Unknown.”
The best actor and best actress categories should be nail-biters. While Brody (“The Brutalist”) has won a string of awards, Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”) and Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”) could easily pull off the upset. Best actress could go to either Moore (“The Substance”) or Madison (“Anora”).
In the supporting categories, Kieran Culkin (“A Real Pain”) and Zoe Saldana (“Emilia Pérez”) are the favorites.
In addition to the competitive categories, Jane Fonda will be given the SAG Life Achievement Award.

How to watch the SAG Awards
The 31st SAG Awards will be streamed live by Netflix beginning at 8 p.m. Eastern. An official pre-show will start an hour earlier, also on Netflix. Last year’s show, the first to air on the streaming platform, drew an audience of 1.8 million, roughly on par with earlier SAG ceremonies broadcast by TNT and TBS.
The 31st SAG Awards are today... Here's what to know
The 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night should offer the final clue in an unusually unpredictable Oscar race.
The other major awards — including the BAFTAs, the Producers Guild Awards, the Directors Guild Awards and the Golden Globes — have all had their say. But actors make up the largest piece of the film academy pie, so their picks often correspond strongly with Academy Award winners.
After wins from the PGA and the DGA — and last night, the Independent Spirit Awards — Sean Baker’s “Anora” is seen as the favorite to win best picture in a week’s time at the Oscars. But Edward Berger’s “Conclave” won last weekend at the BAFTAs, the latest wrench in an award season full of them. That’s included the unlikely rise and precipitous fall of another top contender, “Emilia Pérez.”
So there are plenty of questions heading into the SAG Awards, hosted by Kristen Bell from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Can “Wicked” make a late push and win the guild’s top award, best ensemble? Can Adrien Brody hold off Timothée Chalamet for best actor? Can Mikey Madison keep the momentum and win best actress over Demi Moore?
SAG Awards presenters will include Grande, Chalamet, Erivo and Yeoh
Ariana Grande, Timothée Chalamet, Selena Gomez, Mikey Madison and other stars of the top Screen Actors Guild Awards film nominees will be among the presenters at Sunday's ceremony.
Organizers announced Thursday presenters will also include “Wicked” co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Bowen Yang. The musical is the leading nominee at the show, which will be streamed live on Netflix.
Previous SAG Award winners Lily Gladstone, Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis will also present awards during the show, which honors the top performances in film and television.
