Which actor won a posthumous award at the 2026 SAG Awards?
Answer
Catherine O'Hara
Catherine O’Hara won a posthumous award at the 2026 SAG Awards for her performance in The Studio.
O’Hara received the award for Female Actor in a Comedy Series at the 32nd Actor Awards. She died in January 2026, before the ceremony, so a co-star accepted the trophy on her behalf.
Her winning role was Patty Leigh in The Studio, an Apple TV+ comedy about a struggling film studio. The award added a poignant moment to a ceremony celebrating performers’ work across film and television.
O’Hara had previously received major recognition for Schitt’s Creek, but this win was for The Studio. It should not be confused with her earlier SAG victories or with the show’s separate ensemble award.
