Deepest condolences go out to Martin Short, who had to skip the 2026 Actors Awards after receiving two nominations.
Formerly known as the SAG Awards, the event was held at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Martin Short sadly had to sit this year’s festivities out to grieve the passing of his daughter, Katherine.
The actor’s absence was highlighted when the nominees in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series category were announced by Jenna Ortega.
Short was among Adam Brody, Ted Danson, and Seth Rogan in this category of nominees, for which Short was nominated due to his stellar performance in Only Murders in the Building. However, Short received another honour for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, alongside his co-stars in Only Murders in the Building, Selena Gomez and Steve Martin.
The actor unfortunately could attend the ceremony to receive either award due to the passing of his daughter late last month. Katherine Hartley Short, 42, was found dead at her home on 23 February 2026.
Martin Short described his daughter to have someone that was be loved by all, and her memory shall live on dearly through his legacy.
