- SAG Awards
The Screen Actors Guild Awards® commend the year’s finest achievements in acting in five film categories and eight television categories, including the distinctive ensemble awards, which honor the collaborative performance by a cast in a motion picture and by the ensemble casts of both comedy and dramatic television series.
Recipients of the Actor® statuettes are selected solely by the members of Screen Actors Guild. “We are moving the nominations announcement up to December from this year’s January date to provide more time and opportunities for our members to view the nominated performances before casting their ballots,” explained Summers. “Recipients of The Actor® take great pride in being honored by their peers.”
Nominees for the Screen Actors Guild Awards® are chosen by separate film and television nominating committees, each composed of 2100 actors, random-selected anew in the spring each year from the Guild’s nationwide membership of nearly 120,000 acting professionals. Once selected, committee members may not serve on a nominating panel again for three years. The entire active Guild membership is given the opportunity to vote via online or paper ballot for the recipients of the Screen Actors Guild Awards® coveted bronze Actor® statuettes.
