Andrew Scott likely had a more enjoyable time at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards than he did at the show five years ago.

The 48-year-old actor attended the show as a nominee on Sunday (February 23) at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Andrew was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series for his work in Ripley, but lost to The Penguin‘s Colin Farrell.

While at the event, Andrew opened up to Variety about the medical emergency he suffered at the 2020 SAG Awards, when he was nominated for Fleabag.

“I passed a kidney stone during the SAG Awards. I was beside Phoebe [Waller-Bridge] and Laura Dern had just won best supporting actress and we were standing up,” he said. “I don’t know if anyone has ever experienced having a kidney stone before, but it sends you, the pain is so immediate.”

“As Laura was speaking, I was crawling out of the thing. By the time her speech was over, I was ripping off my tux, I was in the back [of the room]… writhing around in agony,” Andrew added. “I knew what it was because I’ve had it before and that was my last experience at the SAG Awards.”

Andrew ended up being taken away from the event in an ambulance!
