Beloved comedian actor Martin Short has finally won his first SAG Award. Short received the award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series for playing Oliver Putnam, the sometime Broadway director and murder-solving podcast co-host on the Hulu comedy “Only Murders in the Building.

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.

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

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?
