Colin Farrell wins SAG Award after Jamie Lee Curtis calls him out for giving her COVID

Colin Farrell got more than he bargained for as he took home his first Screen Actors Guild Award Sunday night.

The Irish actor, 48, who led Max's Batman spinoff "The Penguin," won the prize for best actor in a limited series. He was presented the statue, known as "the Actor," by "The Last Showgirl" star Jamie Lee Curtis.

“And the Actor goes to ... the man who gave me COVID at the Golden Globes: Colin Farrell," Curtis said, earning laughs from the audience.

"Guilty as charged!" Farrell responded with a grin when he got on stage. "But Brendan Gleeson (Farrell's "The Banshees of Inisherin" co-star) gave it to me! So I was just spreading the love.”

Farrell gave a sweet speech thanking his two sons, James, 21, and Henry, 15, as well as his sister, Claudine, and brother, Eamon. He also got emotional as he paid tribute to his fellow nominees.

"It's so weird," Farrell said. "So many of you I grew up watching on television and film. So many I've worked with over the years and shared the spirit of collaborative curiosity and all the stuff that we fail at doing and we succeed at doing, and none of it is ever quantifiable. That's the beautiful thing and the annoying thing about what we do.

"It's just unquantifiable; it's playtime. You don't get to fully grow up, you get to keep the dream of a child alive as you try and figure out what it is to be human. It's so much fun.”
