Despite some technical difficulties on Sunday night, Jane Fonda used her moment at the SAG Awards to inspire activism. The 87-year-old actress was honored with the prestigious SAG lifetime achievement award, and she took the opportunity to offer a message of perseverance, saying, “It’s okay to be a late bloomer as long as you don’t miss the flower show.”
“I’m a late bloomer. This is the flower show,” she added, pointing to her award. “Yeah. I love acting. We get to open people’s minds to new ideas, take them beyond what they understand of the world and help ‘em laugh when things are tough, like now.”

Harrison Ford became the unexpected star of the SAG Awards on Sunday. In a hilarious moment, he interrupted his Shrinking co-star Jessica Williams’ speech by casually munching on a snack in front of the camera.
While Williams was in the middle of introducing herself and reflecting on her acting journey, Ford, sitting next to her, casually reached for what looked like a chip and took a bite. Realizing he was in the shot, the Indiana Jones legend awkwardly pulled the chip from his mouth, drawing laughter from the audience.
“I told him to turn away,” Williams joked. “Don’t look.”

Demi Moore has shared many heartfelt moments throughout awards season, but at the conclusion of her 2025 SAG Awards acceptance speech, she was visibly moved and struggled to find the words.
She urged the next generation of performers to “not lose sight of the human connection,” emphasizing that “that’s the work that we do, to be connected to one another.”
“The final thing I’ll say is, you know, there’s this idea that what we believe is so much more powerful than what we think, and the saying that, ‘I’ll believe it when I see it,’ but the reality is, when I believe it, I will see it, and I’m so grateful for this,” she continued, before becoming emotional and trailing off. “That little girl, who didn’t believe in herself… the words are kind of beyond me. So, I’m just going to have to say thank you. Thank you so much!”
