Seth Rogen accepted the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series on behalf of Catherine O'Hara at the 32nd annual Actor Awards, after O'Hara passed away on Jan. 30 at the age of 71.
Rogen, who worked with O'Hara on The Studio, told a story of how she'd make the Apple TV show better by sending him and co-creator Evan Goldberg polite emailed notes the day before shoots.
"She really showed that you can be a genius, and be kind, and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape or form," says Rogen.
"So I guess I'll leave you with this: If you have people in your lives that don't know her work, if there are kids in your lives or just people who are out of touch or stupid or something, just 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 generously shared her talents with us."
