With the Oscars looming, the 2025 Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards took centre stage, bringing Hollywood’s best together for a night of history-making wins, heartfelt speeches, and internet-breaking red carpet moments.
Timothée Chalamet etched his name into SAG history, becoming the youngest ever winner of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. The 28-year-old star, known for his dedication to craft, left fans in awe with his acceptance speech:
“I’m really in pursuit of greatness.”
The internet? Absolutely losing it, with comments like:
“Pls give him the Oscar now.”
“Dude is locked in, chasing legacy and making history along the way.”
“He will be. Already is.”
With Oscars buzz now deafening, is Chalamet the one to beat?
While Timothée’s win was expected, Selena Gomez’s stunned reaction to Only Murders in the Building taking home Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series stole the show.
“Wait, we never win, this is so weird.”
Fans quickly drew comparisons to Beyoncé’s viral Grammy reaction earlier this year, when the music icon looked equally shocked to win.
“She pulled a Beyoncé on that one.”
“So humble and kind.”
“I love her speech, she is an amazing, iconic person.”
With Season 5 of Only Murders on the way, Selena promised to bring the trophy back to New York-and maybe, just maybe, another win next year?
Forget the awards—the internet had a meltdown over the red carpet reunion of Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf. Fans flooded the comments:
“Get someone who looks at you like she looks at him.”
“Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf on the red carpet together… my 00s heart is FULL.”
Gossip Girl & The O.C. crossover? No, but pure nostalgia-fuelled serotonin? Absolutely.
Other highlights of the show were Demi Moore taking home a win for The Substance, Ralph Fiennes, accepting for Conclave, gave an unexpected shoutout to Pope Francis, wishing him a quick recovery from pneumonia.
And Kristen Bell, hosting for the second time, brought her signature wit and charm to Netflix’s first-ever live-streamed SAG Awards.
With Chalamet’s win solidifying his frontrunner status, and Selena’s Only Murders proving it still has awards-season steam, will the Academy follow suit? Or are we in for more surprises? stay tuned
