Mark Ruffalo Asleep When He Won 2015 SAG Award, Gives Speech on Twitter
Mark Ruffalo was nominated for two Screen Actors Guild Awards, but not only did he skip the Sunday, January 25 show, he apparently slept through it. About halfway through the show, Mark won the SAG Award for "Performance By a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries" for his role in "The Normal Heart." They had to do the classic "Mark Ruffalo couldn't be here ... we accept the award on his behalf."
However, Mark did accept the award shortly after he won - via Twitter. Here's his six-part (so far) speech:
Ha ha ha! Sunny and my kids just woke me up to tell me I won a SAG award. Have to be at work in 4 hours. Thank you! @SAGawards
