The 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards delivered a night full of surprises, emotional speeches, and major wins that could shape the upcoming Oscars. Conclave , the gripping papal drama, took home the top prize for Best Ensemble Cast, solidifying its momentum in the awards season. Meanwhile, Demi Moore and Timothée Chalamet made headlines with their outstanding performances, inching closer to potential Oscar victories.
Starting with Conclave , Ralph Fiennes accepted the award on behalf of the cast, emphasizing the importance of storytelling and community in cinema. His co-star, Isabella Rossellini, took a heartfelt moment to send well wishes to Pope Francis, who is currently recovering from pneumonia. With this major win, Conclave now stands as a serious contender for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, making the race tighter than ever.
Demi Moore delivered a moving speech after winning Best Actress for The Substance , a psychological body horror film where she plays an aging aerobics instructor desperate to hold onto youth. Reflecting on her long journey in Hollywood, she recalled how getting her SAG card at 15 changed her life. "This is extraordinary and deeply meaningful," she said. "You have all been my greatest teachers." Moore’s win makes the Best Actress category at the Oscars even more unpredictable, as she faces stiff competition from rising star Mikey Madison.

Timothée Chalamet pulled off a major upset, winning Best Actor for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown . The award had been expected to go to Adrien Brody for The Brutalist , who had dominated the season so far. Chalamet, visibly emotional, acknowledged the intense five-and-a-half-year journey he had gone through to embody the legendary musician. "The truth is, I'm in pursuit of greatness," he admitted, in a rare moment of raw ambition. "This doesn’t signify that yet, but it’s a little more fuel to keep going."
Kieran Culkin continued his winning streak, securing Best Supporting Actor for A Real Pain , a film about two cousins reconnecting in Poland. In his trademark humor, he jokingly thanked his director’s sister for recommending him for the role. Meanwhile, Zoe Saldaña dominated the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in Emilia Pérez , a Spanish-language musical about a drug lord’s transformation. "I am proud to be part of a union that allows me to be who I am," she said, delivering a speech that championed artistic freedom and inclusivity.
Television categories also saw major wins. Shogun swept the drama section, with Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada winning Best Actress and Best Actor in a Drama Series. Sawai, fighting back tears, expressed her gratitude to the cast and crew, calling the experience "beyond her imagination." Comedy favorite Only Murders in the Building took home Best Comedy Series, with Selena Gomez jokingly exclaiming, "Wait, we never win, this is so weird!"
The night concluded with a powerful moment as Jane Fonda received the SAG Lifetime Achievement Award. The legendary actress used her platform to speak on the importance of unions, community, and political awareness. "Woke just means you give a damn about other people," she declared, urging everyone to stay united in difficult times.
