Catherine O’Hara‘s acting colleagues have honored her with one last trophy … awarding her a posthumous Actors Award.
The actress was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her part as Patty Leigh in “The Studio” … and, she won it at Sunday night’s ceremony.
Seth Rogen gives a tribute to Catherine O’Hara after she wins The Actor Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series:

When her name was announced, the audience jumped to its feet in rapturous applause … and, Seth Rogen — who won his own Actors Award for “The Studio” — headed to the stage to accept the trophy on O’Hara’s behalf.
Rogen said O’Hara would’ve been honored to receive the award … before telling a hilarious anecdoate about how O’Hara would always send notes on the script before shooting — and always improved it.
We broke the story … O’Hara passed away in January from a pulmonary embolism — though she also had rectal cancer at the time
Many of O’Hara’s famous friends paid tribute to her on social media … while Martin Short and Steve Martin shared their love for the star during one of their comedy shows.
According to reports … O’Hara did not film any scenes for season 2 of The Studio — so her Actors Award-winning performance is likely the last of her career.
Catherine was 71.
RIP
