Selena Gomez had shocked 8-word reaction before accepting unexpected SAG Award

On Sunday (23 February), celebrities gathered at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles to celebrate the 2025 SAG Awards which were hosted by Kristen Bell this year.

Selena Gomez was in attendance during the evening and was left very clearly stunned as she accepted the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series for Only Murders in the Building.

The other nominated series included; Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks and Shrinking.

The award in question was announced by New Girl stars, Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield, who seemingly gave Selena quite the shock when they called out the winner.

The 32-year-old Emilia Pérez actress stood up in shock with her cast as she mouthed 'What?!' before making her way to the stage with her co-stars, Michael Cyril Creighton, Molly Shannon and Richard Kind.

She then looked around the audience with her eyes wide and mouth open as she accepted the unexpected SAG Award: "Do I have to talk?

"I can’t talk."

Despite the initial shock, Selena went on to deliver a heartfelt speech kicking off with a touchingly candid eight-word statement: "Wait, we never win. This is so weird."

Speaking of her cast-mates, Martin Short and Steve Martin, who weren't at the ceremony, the 'Calm Down' singer continued: "Well, Marty and Steve aren't here because, you know, they don't really care.

"But I don't know what to say. Thank you to Marty and Steve for helping raise me. I genuinely am just so grateful [to] everybody, the writers. Everyone deserves this, and I take it home for all of us."

Selena was also sure to mention the upcoming season of the hit comedy-drama series, adding: "I'm bringing this back to New York for season five.

"Thank you so much. I'm so grateful. Thank you, SAG-AFTRA. Thank you to everybody. I love you."

Fans have since rushed to social media to share their reactions to the speech with one X user writing: "I just love this for her and the whole cast!"

"Deserved. This show is awesome!" gushed a second, while a third chimed in: "I love seeing her getting that confidence again. Finally, and congratulations, Selena!"

A fourth beamed: "Selena had an award-winning look too. I love this for her!!"

"Her reaction was great to see. Kudos to her and the rest of the crew," penned another.

And a final X user added: "I’ve never seen a better show 'lose' more awards. So I was genuinely SHOCKED when Martin Short and Only Murders In The Building actually won.

"Bravo, it’s a wonderful series."
