Washington DC [US], March 13: Singer and actress Selena Gomez surprised her ‘Only Murders in the Building’ co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin by handing them their Screen Guild Awards (SAG) trophies after they missed the February ceremony in Los Angeles, as reported by Deadline.
Selena’s show, ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ made history at the 2025 SAG Awards by winning the prestigious honor for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Gomez shared a heartwarming video on Instagram showing her delivering the SAG trophies to Martin Short and Steve Martin on set. “And the SAG Award goes to Steve Martin and Martin Short!” Gomez said as she entered one of the series’ sets, accompanied by co-creator John Hoffman and Michael Cyril Creighton.
Martin Short jokingly collapsed to the floor after commenting that the trophy was heavy. “I would like to thank the Academy and everyone in the crew whose names… I just don’t know,” he said. Meanwhile, Martin admired the trophy and expressed that it was his first-ever SAG Award, adding, “Look at that, now we’re talking.”
It was an especially big night for Short, who earlier in the evening won his first SAG Award in the Male Actor in a Comedy category for his role as Oliver Putnam in the Hulu series. However, Short was absent from the ceremony after contracting COVID-19 following an appearance at SNL50, while Martin had to miss the event due to a “previous conflict in his schedule.”
This SAG win for ‘Only Murders in the Building’ marks a major milestone for the cast, as it is their first win after four seasons.
After the win, Gomez shared an emotional post on Instagram. “After 4 seasons, we got our first award as a cast!!! Steve, Marty, you deserve this more than I do. You guys have shaped the character I play on our show,” she wrote, recognizing her co-stars.
She also extended her gratitude to the show’s creators and crew, including John Hoffman, Jess Rosenthal, and Dan Fogelman, for making the series the success it is. “Last night was one I will never ever forget. Thank you @hulu and @sagawards for this unreal moment that I will cherish with my Only Murders family!” she added, sharing a carousel of celebratory photos from the event.
