Demi Moore, Pamela Anderson, Kieran Culkin, Colin Farrell, and Shōgun stars Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada all flexed their Hollywood might at the 2025 SAG Awards, though the ceremony's statuette challenged their arm muscles in the process.
Each of the actors referenced the weight of the SAG Awards statuette at Sunday's ceremony, with Anderson first commenting, "It's heavy! It's so heavy!" as she presented the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role to A Real Pain star Culkin, who exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, wow, that is," as he took the statuette.
Later, when Farrell — star of The Penguin — accepted his award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Miniseries or Television movie, he went to lift the trophy and quickly put it down, commenting, "Jesus, Kieran was right!" Moore, who won for her leading performance in The Substance, also joked about the statue's weight when she lifted it up for a brief moment at the top of her acceptance speech.
So, how much does the SAG Awards statuette weigh? According to a past press release celebrating the statue — known officially as the Actor — SAG noted that the award is 16 inches tall and weighs in at 12 pounds.

"Thank you, SAG AFTRA, for this incredibly heavy award. That's why they put this thing here, I guess," the Succession star said, referencing the small podium standing next to the microphone. "I don't think there's any way anyone can hold this for 45 seconds — which is the allotted time, Adrien Brody!"
