Seth Rogen on stage at the Actor Awards on Sunday nightSeth Rogen delivered one of the most emotional moments at this year’s Actor Awards when he accepted a posthumous award on behalf of his late co-star Catherine O’Hara.During Sunday night’s Actor Awards – previously known as the SAG Awards – Catherine was announced as the winner of the Best Performance By A Female Actor In A Comedy series for her work in The Studio.“I was asked to assume the very sad honour of accepting this award on O’Hara’s behalf,” Seth told his fellow actors in the room. “I know she would have been honoured to receive this award from her fellow performers, who I know she respected so much. She was such a big fan of all of yours.“Obviously, I have been reflecting on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her, working with her. And something that I’ve just been marveling at over the last few weeks was really her ability to be generous and kind and gracious, while never ever minimising her own talent, and her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing.“She knew she could destroy – and she wanted to destroy, every day – on set.”Catherine O’Hara and Seth Rogen in The StudioHe continued: “I haven’t said this to the other actors, because I didn’t want them to get ideas, but pretty much every evening before she had a shooting day on our show, she would [send] me and Evan [Goldberg, the show’s co-creator] an email that was always pretty similar, and said ’hello, I hope you’ll consider the following.“And then, there would be a completely rewritten version of the scene she was in, and literally, 100% of the time, it made not just her character better, but the scene better and the entire show better in the whole. She really showed that you can be a genius, and be kind, and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way shape or form.”Seth ended his life by encouraging those unfamiliar with Catherine’s work to “show them O’Hara dancing to Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice” or “show them O’Hara hurting her knee in Best In Show”.“We were lucky that we got to live in a world where she so generously shared her talents with us,” he concluded.Catherine – best known for her work in projects like Schitt’s Creek, Home Alone and Christopher Guest’s mockumentaries – died at the end of January, at the age of 71.It was later disclosed that she had died as the result of a pulmonary embolism, having been undergoing treatment for cancer since last year.READ MORE:The 2026 Actor Awards Winners List Shows Us How Things Could Go Down At The Oscars HuffPost UK – Athena2 – All Entries (Public) Read More
