Only Murders in the Building, the Hulu hit, accomplished the remarkable feat of winning every category it was nominated for at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards. On February 23, the series took home two prestigious trophies: Martin Short received the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and the show was recognized for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Debuting in 2021, Only Murders follows three friends — played by Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Short — united by their shared passion for true crime. The quirky trio finds themselves entangled in murder mysteries linked to their New York City apartment building, named the Arconia, featuring many celebrity cameos along the way.
The fourth season showcased new characters from the building’s other side, referred to as the Westies, with guest stars like Richard Kind and Kumail Nanjiani. Nanjiani praised the friendly environment on set, stating, "It is truly a no-hazing set. It is absolutely and completely supportive, generous and kind," emphasizing the positive atmosphere cultivated by the show’s executive producers and stars.
At the SAG Awards, the finale of season four, which aired just months prior, had seen the main characters solve the murder of Sazz, portrayed by Jane Lynch. Yet, immediately following their moment of triumph, Oliver (Short) raced to his wedding with Loretta (Meryl Streep), where Mabel (Gomez) and Charles (Martin) turned down the assistance of another woman (Téa Leoni) seeking help finding her husband, only to find another victim by the next morning.
John Hoffman, the show’s creator, offered insight on the creative process during an interview after the season, saying, "It’s always one of those strange experiences with the finales of our seasons because we always have to start there first... and then we back our way, twisting our way to the front of the season." He also hinted at potential star-studded guest appearances for upcoming seasons, saying the caliber of actors working on the show is what he desires, regardless of fame.
Meanwhile, BTS' Jimin shone brightly at the Dabeme Music Awards, winning nine awards — the most by any artist — during the 2025 edition held online on February 24. His achievements were celebrated by fans who cheered him on through social media, echoing praises from the year prior when he swept all his nominations.
His wins included categories such as Artist of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, K-Pop Idol of the Year, and K-Pop Album of the Year for his project Muse. Jimin's song "SGMB" won Song of the Year, adding to his accolades, which reflected the immense support garnered from fans. Posts on social media expressed admiration, with sentiments like, "Congratulations Jimin. I think you broke every record," demonstrating his impact as he continues to break barriers.
Fans have dubbed him “record breaker” and “history maker” as they celebrate his monumental success at the awards, which had 14 categories featuring up to 200 artists this year. One fan shared, "Sweeping all categories for the second year is a monumental achievement. A testimony to talent, hard work, and unwavering support." Many reiterated how well-deserved this recognition is for Jimin, who has also been praised for his solo music career.
His second solo album, Muse, released in July 2024, received acclaim and achieved significant commercial success, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200. Tracks such as "Closer Than This" and "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" conquered the charts, with "Who" also making waves on TikTok and YouTube.
Even as Jimin serves his military duty, expected to finish by June 11, 2025, his achievements remain supported by his devoted fanbase, who continue to celebrate him and his music.
Both Only Murders and Jimin’s awards shine as bright testaments to the accomplishments within the realms of television and music, symbolizing the strong connection between artists and their audiences, and the ever-celebrated talent shaping entertainment today.
