The Screen Actors Guild Awards, also known as the SAG Awards, were first held in 1995 to recognize and celebrate the most outstanding performances on film and TV from the previous year.
It is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious award ceremonies on the calendar, alongside the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes.
The nominations are carefully chosen by one of two committees: the film committee and the TV committee.
SAG award members with full membership are randomly selected each year to join a committee and vote for the winners in the film and TV categories.
Unlike the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, the SAG Awards solely recognize film or TV performances, and the nominations often serve as an indicator of success in the Oscars’ acting categories.
The 2026 Ceremony
For the third time in the event’s history, the 32nd SAG Awards will be broadcast live on Netflix on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
The much-loved event will gather some of the finest actors and actresses on film and TV into one room for a night of non-stop awards and entertainment.
The host and venue haven’t been confirmed, but the ceremony is expected to be held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California. While it hasn’t been officially announced, the venue has hosted the prestigious award show 25 times throughout the years, serving as its primary location since 1997.
