Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG)

The Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards) is an annual celebration that honors outstanding performances in film and prime time television. The event places emphasis on both individual performances as well as the work of the entire ensemble in a production or series, reflecting the collaborative art of acting.

Established in 1995 by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), it was launched as a way to acknowledge and recognize exceptional performances in the film industry. The SAG awards differ from other awards shows as it specifically focuses on actors and performers, elevating the art of acting and its contributors.

The highlights of the SAG awards include the coveted award for the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and awards for leading and supporting roles. The awards are unique as they are voted on by fellow actors, adding a special level of peer recognition to the achievements. The annual SAG awards are typically held at the end of January, creating an exciting kick-off to the awards season. It's an event eagerly anticipated by actors and fans alike, allowing for a pause to admire the performances that invoke, entertain and inspire.
