Celebrities Skipping SAG Awards 2025, Plus the Reasons Why!

The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards are taking place right now – Sunday (February 23) – at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

So many stars are in attendance, however, lots of stars seemed to have skipped the show!

We gathered up a few of the bigger names who decided to skip, and if we figured out the reason why they’re missing.

Keep reading to find out more…

Karla Sofia Gascon – Skipped

Reason Why? Gascon has been skipping every awards season event since her controversial tweets resurfaced.

Jonathan Bailey – Skipped

Reason Why? We’re assuming Jonathan skipped due to his busy schedule. He’s currently starring in a London production of Richard II, and while he has Sundays off, it would be quite a bit of travel time to fly from London to Los Angeles and back!

Allison Janney – Skipped

Reason Why? Unclear, but Allison was not shown on screen when the nominees in her category were announced.

Jean Smart – Skipped

Reason Why? When she won the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series award for her performance in Hacks, it was confirmed Jean Smart was not in attendance because she was busy shooting on location elsewhere.

Javier Bardem – Skipped

Reason Why? Unclear. Stay tuned as we learn more.

Martin Short – Skipped

Reason Why? Steve Martin confirmed on Instagram that Martin Short came down with COVID after attending SNL50. We’re assuming this is why he did not attend.

Cate Blanchett – Skipped

Reason Why? Unclear. Stay tuned as we learn more.

Ayo Edebiri – Skipped

Reason Why? Unclear, especially because she was at another event just last night!

Kevin Kline – Skipped

Reason Why? Unclear. Stay tuned as we learn more.

Eddie Redmayne – Skipped

Reason Why? Unclear. Stay tuned as we learn more.
