In an emotional acceptance speech at the 2015 SAG Awards, Orange is the New Black star Uzo Aduba celebrated her win for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series by sharing how close she was to never being there at all. "The day I got this job was the day I had stopped acting," said Aduba.
When the Singin' in the Rain star picked up her Life Achievement Award at the 2015 SAG Awards, she took a moment to poke a little fun at her daughter Carrie Fisher (and her iconic Star Wars 'do.) "Some of you may not remember this but I had a bun. At the back of my head I had a big bun, an ugly bun. I'd warned my daughter Carrie who'd just gotten a part in a picture, Princess Leia in Star Wars and I said 'Carrie be careful of any weird hairdos.' So luckily, George gave her two buns. Thank you, George."
After winning at the 2014 SAG Awards for her starring role in Blue Jasmine, the actress stroked her trophy, said the word "penis" in her speech, and threw a little shade at Matthew McConaughey (and his... interesting speech) when she saw how much time she had for her acceptance speech. You tell 'em, Cate!
Speaking of McConaughey, his 2014 win for Best Male Lead Actor for his work in Dallas Buyers Club left some confused as his speech covered a ton of topics, including... outer space. It was definitely one of the more notable moments of the night.
Before she was an Oscar winner, the Silver Linings Playbook star was narrowly avoiding a wardrobe malfunction at the 2013 SAG Awards. Plus, she shouted out a promo for MTV's My Super Sweet 16 as the way she earned her SAG card.

The star is no stranger to the SAG Awards, and her speech following her first win, for The Help, during the 2012 ceremony still gives us chills.

You can't trade in your dream for another dream... Dream big, and dream fierce."
When Octavia Spencer won for Best Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her work in The Help at the 2012 ceremony, she dedicated her award to civil rights leader, Medgar Evers, and to "the downtrodden, the under-served, the underprivileged, overtaxed, whether emotionally, physically, or financially."
When Natalie Portman picked up her award for Black Swan at the 2011 SAG Awards she was glowing as she showed off her baby bump. The Oscar winner was also the only star whose speech was censored that night, for saying: "My parents who taught me to work my hardest and never be an ass----. It's never acceptable."
The star always delivers SAG Awards speeches that are equal parts funny and sincere. Her speech after winning the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010 was no exception, as she joked that Sandra Bullock was "plain" looking, and alluded to sleeping with some of the people in the room.
When the legendary actress won the top award for Doubt at the 2009 SAG Awards, she was hilarious, but a little cocky. After running to the stage, she exclaimed: "I didn't even buy a dress! I'm [really] shocked... even though awards mean nothing to me anymore."
