Catherine O’Hara was posthumously honored at the Actor Awards on Sunday, winning best female actor in a comedy series for her role on "The Studio."

The Apple TV show, co-created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is a madcap satire of modern Hollywood. O'Hara starred as Patty Leigh, a former Hollywood studio chief, opposite Seth Rogen’s aspiring mogul Matt Remnick.

O'Hara, best known for her performances in the Christmas classic “Home Alone,” the mockumentary “Best in Show” and the cult-hit sitcom “Schitt’s Creek,” died in January from a blood clot in her lungs as a result of rectal cancer, according to her death certificate. She was 71.

An emotional Rogen accepted the award on her behalf, telling the audience of Hollywood stars, "I know she would have been honored to receive the award from fellow performers."

"I obviously, you know, have been reflecting on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her, working with her," he said. "Something I’ve just been marveling at these past few weeks was really her ability to be generous and kind and gracious while never, ever minimizing her own talents."
