Netizens are unimpressed with what Jessica Williams did to Harrison Ford during her speech at the SAG Awards. The two are co-stars in a series.
On February 23, 2025, Hollywood stars stepped out to attend the 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, California. Among the A-listers was Jessica Williams who shared banter with iconic actor and her “Shrinking” co-star Harrison Ford during her speech. However, many social media users found her actions unnecessary and they expressed disdain for how she jokingly yelled at Ford.

Radiating beauty in a shimmering gold dress from her seat in the audience, Williams began, “Los Angeles is known as the city of dreams. And sure enough, all of my dreams have come true here.” As she spoke, a camera zoomed in to show a close-up of her face.
Seated behind Williams at the same table was Ford, who looked at something outside of the camera’s vantage point as he nibbled on some food, which appeared to amuse the audience.
Even Wiliams stopped her speech to chuckle at the legend’s comedic antics before yelling, “I told him to turn away! Don’t look!” As she yelled this, Ford continued to play along, turning his chair away from Williams.

The actress continued her monologue. Williams told humorous anecdotes of her rough start as a budding actress practicing her auditions in a Starbucks bathroom, changing clothes in her car, and performing for a casting director who was more interested in their salad.
When she finished, Williams whipped around to face Harrison Ford and the duo engaged in a playfight. “Jessica Williams yelling at Harrison Ford throughout her I Am An Actor speech is so precious. #SAGAwards,” captioned Netflix who shared a clip of the actress’ speech on social media.
While the SAG Awards crowd found the moment hilarious, online viewers were less receptive.“how [sic] unprofessional,” remarked an X user, while another chimed in with, “I Don’t Find This Funny 🤷🏻♀️ Especially Her Yelling Seems To Be Unnecessary. Idk.”
Someone else asserted, “How dare she scream at Harrison ford who ever she is 😬 [sic].” Similar comments ensued with yet another observer noting how “cold” Williams was to Ford.

On the other hand, many social media users focused on how funny the “Indiana Jones” star was. “in many ways the funniest guy alive [sic],” declared an admirer, while another added, “Not a word from Harrison Ford and yet he stole the scene. I swear, Indy is getting funnier and cooler as he’s getting older. 😂.”
Joining the discussion, an X user penned, “The way he’s literally picking off her plate has me cackling.” “The sight of Harrison Ford eating at the SAG Awards is almost as iconic as Indiana Jones eating a snake,” expressed a fan.
A fellow admirer who enjoyed the banter exchanged between Williams and Ford praised, “They are fun together! Love their dynamic!”

Apart from sparking online commentary with their comedic exchange, Williams and Ford, along with their fellow “Shrinking” cast members received a nomination in the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series category for their show.

By doing so, he finds that this proves to be hugely impactful for their lives and his own. The series also stars Jason Segel.
