Reminded by co-star Richard Kind to thank Short and Martin, Gomez thanked them “for helping raise me.”

The actor won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for "Only Murders in the Building." Who could have predicted that Lorne Michaels assembling a rag-tag group of comedians for a little sketch comedy program in 1975 would eventually result in Martin Short being unable to accept his first SAG award?

Martin Short has won his first SAG Award at 74 years old for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series.

The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards was full of Hollywood A-listers, but some were noticeably absent. When Joey King and Jack Quaid called out Martin Short ’s name when announcing the winner of Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, the duo began looking for the Only Murders in the Building star in the crowd.

Kieran Culkin, Zoe Saldaña, Jean Smart, Jessica Gunning, Colin Farrell, Martin Short, Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai are among the winners so far.

On Sunday, Feb. 23, Martin Short won the award for his performance as Oliver Putnam in Only Murders in the Building at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. This year marked Short's third individual SAG Award nod for Only Murders, and first win.

The Hulu series, which debuted in 2021, follows three unlikely friends — played by Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Short, 74 — who form a friendship over their love of true crime. The group ends up solving various murder mysteries connected to their New York City apartment building, the Arconia, which has led to many celebrity cameos over the years.

Selena Gomez is stunned to receive the award for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series trophy at the 2025 SAG Awards and she calls out her ‘Only Murders in the Building’ co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short for missing their big moment.
