Colin Farrell Wins SAG Award Amid Jamie Lee Curtis' COVID Remark

Colin Farrell won his first Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor in a Limited Series for his role in Max's 'The Penguin' during the ceremony on February 23, 2025. Jamie Lee Curtis humorously presented the award, jokingly accusing him of giving her COVID at the Golden Globes, to which Farrell responded, 'Guilty as charged,' while attributing the virus to his co-star Brendan Gleeson. In his heartfelt acceptance speech, Farrell expressed gratitude to his family, particularly his two sons, and acknowledged the significance of his fellow nominees. He humorously noted his starstruck feeling seeing John Lithgow in the audience. This SAG Award adds to a successful awards season for Farrell, who has also won a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for the same role. The light-hearted exchange between Curtis and Farrell was a highlight of the evening, showcasing the camaraderie among the nominees.
