Heading into this year’s SAG Awards, Martin Short had five previous nominations. Sunday night, the veteran actor-comedian won his first SAG Award at the age of 74 in the Male Actor In a Comedy Series category for his role as Oliver Putnam on Only Murders In the Building.

You can thank SNL’s 50th-anniversary show for keeping the two funnymen away from the SAG Awards on a big night for ‘Only Murders in the Building.’

While stars including Selena Gomez and Timothée Chalamet gathered for the 2025 SAG Awards in Los Angeles, several actors such as Martin Short and Jonathan Bailey were unable to attend.
