Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams Bring the LOLs to 2025 SAG Awards
So, picture this: it’s the 2025 SAG Awards, and the ever-charismatic Harrison Ford steals some thunder during Jessica Williams’ heartfelt “I am an actor” speech. Hosted by Kristen Bell, the ceremony kicked off in style on February 23, but it was Ford’s antics that had everyone talking. As Jessica, his co-star in “Shrinking,” shared her dreams come true in L.A., Ford decided he was more interested in munching on some chips than listening. I mean, who doesn’t love a good snack during a heartfelt emotional moment, right? Williams hilariously shouted, “Don’t look!” as the audience erupted into laughter.
Williams’ speech, with its mix of aspiration and humor, drew attention not just for her words but for how she comically bested a Hollywood legend into submission. “I’ve cried in a Del Taco bathroom,” she quipped, before embracing her identity as a proud L.A. native and actor. This amusing exchange is just the latest illustration of how awards shows blend heartfelt tributes with side-splitting moments, harkening back to their origins, like that legendary first SAG Awards hosted by Angela Lansbury in 1995.
The “I am an actor” tradition stands as one of the most beloved aspects of the SAG Awards. Stars like Will Arnett and Steve Carell have delivered their unforgettable speeches over the years, mixing self-deprecation and humor that reflect the struggles and triumphs of their craft. Carell famously drew parallels between his professional skills and the miraculous landing of US Airways Flight 1549, underscoring the bizarre human experience of acting.
With more than a hundred stars having crafted anecdotes about their experiences in acting, Jessica Williams’ hilarious spat with Ford is a new chapter in the ongoing saga of the SAG Awards. It’s a reminder that even amidst the glam and grandeur of Hollywood’s award season, there’s still room for a good ol’ laugh and some relatable moments—like someone snacking while you’re trying to recite your dreams. Let’s be real: Ford’s chip mishap might just become the highlight of the night!
