Beloved actress Catherine O'Hara's tragic death left many in shock, but her presence was made known at yesterday's SAG Awards, where the late star was honored for her achievements in the world of cinema.
The late celeb received a major posthumous award just one month after her death at the age of 71. O'Hara won the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role as Patty Leigh in the Apple TV+ Series The Studio, which was a part that she played with her signature wit and warmth.
The win comes in an emotional moment on Sunday night in Los Angeles, where peers stood and applauded as her name was announced.
Since her death on January 30 from a pulmonary embolism that was linked to rectal cancer, she was not able to receive the trophy herself. Instead, the Studio co-creator and star Seth Rogan accepted the accolade on her behalf.
In his speech, he celebrated the late star's brilliance, kindness, and generosity, recalling how her scene suggestions often elevated the entire show. Many in the audience were moved to tears during the speech as they remembered the celeb for the wonderful woman that she was.
