Irish eyes were certainly smiling as both Colin Farrell and Brían F O’Byrne emerged victorious at the 2025 SAG Awards for their roles in The Penguin and Conclave respectively. Farrell walked away with the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Miniseries or Movie, making headlines for his impressive portrayal. Meanwhile, O’Byrne, who wasn’t in attendance but received recognition from Ralph Fiennes, won alongside his Conclave co-stars for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
The event, hosted by star of The Good Place and Nobody Wants This, Kristen Bell, is the second last of awards season, as the industry turns its focus to the Oscars just one week away. The anticipation is palpable with so many key players vying for the coveted awards.
One of the big surprises of the night was the fact Adrian Brody did not win for his role in The Brutalist, instead being surpassed by Timothée Chalamet for his celebrated role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Chalamet’s victory was not just momentous for him, but raised questions about Brody's path moving forward.
Demi Moore captured the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her role, marking significant recognition for her performance this season. It’s clear the film community has no shortage of talent, and Moore's win reflects the fierce competition present.
Shogun dominated the drama TV categories, winning every single award for which it was nominated, including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble. This continued recognition solidifies its status as one of this year’s most outstanding productions.
Only Murders in the Building also pulled off not one but two notable wins, securing the Best Comedy Ensemble award, beating out strong contenders like Hacks and Abbott Elementary. Martin Short's win for Leading Comedy Actor marked his first SAG Award win, adding another layer of celebration to the evening.
