‘Only Murders in the Building’ Stuns at 2025 SAG Awards

The hit comedy series Only Murders in the Building took home Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, leaving the cast shocked and overjoyed.

Selena Gomez’s Surprise and Heartfelt Speech

As the winner was announced, Selena Gomez looked stunned, clearly not expecting the win. Taking the stage with her season 4 co-stars—Molly Shannon, Michael Cyril Creighton, Kumail Nanjiani, and Richard Kind—Gomez playfully noted the absence of her longtime co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin:

“Marty and Steve aren’t here because, you know, they don’t really care… but I just don’t know what to say!”

Despite her playful jab, she quickly thanked them, saying:

“Thank you to Marty and Steve for helping raise me.”

Richard Kind and Co-Stars Still in Shock

Backstage, Richard Kind, a new addition to season 4, admitted he was still processing the win:

“I still don’t believe it. We’re a wonderful show, but things like this don’t happen to us a lot. The competition is incredible!”

Michael Cyril Creighton, who has been with the show since season 1, also expressed his excitement:

“I was just thrilled to be a part of the show. It’s my favorite show on TV, and now this? It’s unbelievable!”

Kumail Nanjiani Reflects on the Show’s Success

Actor Kumail Nanjiani, who joined the cast for season 4, highlighted the show’s unique ability to blend comedy, mystery, and stellar performances:

“The best part of the show is we have that amazing core of Selena, Marty, and Steve, but then every season we get a whole bunch of new amazing actors. It was a dream to work with these two.”

A Well-Deserved Victory

While Only Murders in the Building has been a fan-favorite since its debut, this SAG Award marks a significant industry recognition for the series. With season 4 already generating buzz, the win further cements the show as one of television’s most beloved comedies.

As Selena Gomez put it best:

“We never win… this is so weird!”

But for fans and critics alike, the win was well-deserved.
