Catherine O’Hara’s Actor Awards Win Reminds Us Why We Need To Celebrate Our Heroes

Accepting the award on her behalf, The Studio creator Seth Rogen took to the stage to pay tribute to his co-star, reflecting on his experience knowing O’Hara and marveling at the actresses’ ability to be kind, generous, and gracious throughout her career without minimizing her immeasurable talent. Talking about working with her on the hit series, Rogen said: “She knew she could destroy, and she wanted to destroy everyday on-set,” before going on to urge those watching in the audience and at home to share O’Hara’s work with others, advising: “Show them O’Hara dancing to Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice, show them O’Hara hurting her knee in Best In Show and doing that amazing thing where she hobbles around. And tell the people, as they are laughing, that that’s Catherine O’Hara and we were lucky that we got to live in a world where she so genuinely shared her talents with us.”
