The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are over for another year, and if we had a dollar for every time a recipient commented on the weight of their statuette during the 2025 ceremony, we’d have… quite a few dollars.
Demi Moore, Kieran Culkin, Colin Farrell and Anna Sawai are among the stars who remarked on how heavy their trophies were as they received their awards.
While accepting her female actor in a leading role win, Moore approached the statuette as it sat on a table next to the microphone, saying, “I’m gonna pick it up to see how heavy it is.”
Weighing it between her hands, she declared, “Yep, OK” before putting it back down.

Culkin, on the other hand, was sure to give the trophy a specific shout-out, thanking SAG-AFTRA “for this incredibly heavy award”.
“I don’t think there’s any way anyone can hold this for 45 seconds,” the Succession star quipped.
So, the burning question is: just how heavy is the statue?
Conveniently, the SAG website has all the answers.

The trophy, named The Actor, is indeed quite hefty, weighing in at a whopping 12 pounds – around 5.4kg.
That might not be a number that turns heads in the weights room at the gym, but at an awards ceremony, where you’re likely not expecting to be doing bicep curls in a red carpet gown, it’s no wonder it’s taking everyone by surprise.
The statuette is 16 inches (40cm) tall and made of solid bronze, which explains the weight.

So, not only do the famous recipients get the glory of saying they’ve won, they also score a piece of home decor that could feasibly come in handy in an emergency.
In case you’re wondering, it takes 10 craftspeople at American Fine Arts Foundry to make The Actor statues for each year’s ceremony, a process that takes three to four months.
