We totally understand if you forgot the Screen Actors Guild Awards were happening last night. They’re definitely not as flashy as the Oscars and may not pack the predictable laughs of the Golden Globes, but this award show is not without its moments of random and off-kilter hilarity. Without further ado, we’re chatting about some of our favorite funny moments from the most polite ceremony of the season.
Our beloved Rachel Green lives on
Part of Jennifer Aniston’s charm is her ability to laugh at herself, which we haven’t seen her do in a while. What was even cuter? Her fiancée Justin Theroux cracking up in the background.
An untraditional acceptance speech from William H. Macy
After years of watching these shows, we’ve grown tired of winners thanking the room’s biggest losers for being wonderful enough to even be nominated in the same category as them, so when William H. Macy chose to forgo the usual (insincere?) spiel we were grateful.
Reese is caught off guard by a thump in the night
There were sound issues throughout the evening’s broadcast, but as America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon knows, the show must go on. Not without a quick round of the blame game, though.
Jared Leto returns to add some much needed oddness
The proceedings at the SAG Awards can err on the stuffy side, but presenters like Leto breathe new life into awkward silence by saying what’s truly on their minds—however random and off topic those statements may be.
Frances McDormand cracks a smile
After her fussy turn at the Golden Globes a few weeks ago, we were happy to see Frances not only win but enthusiastically accept her award. Plus, we finally got visual confirmation of her quite pleasant smirk.
Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds prove that mother-daughter duos are total crowd pleasers
Who better to present veteran actress Debbie Reynolds with a lifetime achievement award than her equally hilarious daughter Carrie Fisher? These two delighted by teasing each other about everything from iconic hairstyles to Reynold’s quality parenting style.
Glasses dominate the faces of Hollywood’s funniest
Though they weren’t the only ones in attendance rocking large frames, Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones stood out during their presentation gig for their matching statement glasses—maybe the teleprompter was difficult to read?—and consistent turns of phrase.
Emma Stone’s dress causes mayhem
On stage to accept the final award of the evening, Naomi Watts made her way to the microphone, but not before tripping over Birdman co-star Emma Stone’s dress, which proved what we’ve always known to be true—celebrities, they’re just like us!
