Jenna Ortega Unveils Bold New Red Carpet Look at Actor Awards 2026

While accepting the honor, Seth made light of his win over his fellow costar. 

“I honestly—I hoped my ego was strong enough to withstand losing to Ike, I’m glad I don’t have to find out.” he said on stage. “I would have been meaner to you at work no matter what—it would have created a weird dynamic.”

But while he made jokes, the 43-year-old also spoke to how much the honor truly meant.

“I always honestly kind of consider myself more of a writer,” Seth said, “who was able to write myself roles that I then kind of forced people to allow me to perform in. But this actually makes me feel like an actor for this evening, so I really appreciate it.”
