Following a recent wave of critic-focused precursor awards, the Screen Actors Guild — the largest in the film industry — is set to influence the ongoing Oscar acting races when nominations for the 23rd annual SAG Awards are announced Wednesday morning.
Honoring film, television, and stunt performances by actors, SAG, which merged with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists in 2012, is comprised of nearly 200,000 film & television performers, radio personalities, and other commercial media professionals. A randomly-drawn nomination committee (2,200 members each from SAG and AFTRA) reviews For Your Consideration materials and votes on final nominees; final awards balloting then opens up to all active, paid-up SAG-AFTRA members.
SAG is the first major guild to announce its nominations before Oscar nominations balloting begins on Jan. 5; the Writers Guild of America honors nominees one day prior on Jan. 4, and the American Cinema Editors announce on Jan. 3. Throughout the Academy’s tight eight-day balloting period — which ends Jan. 13 — six major industry precursors with crossover Academy membership will announce their annual nominees, including the Art Directors Guild (Jan. 5), BAFTA (Jan. 10), the Cinema Audio Society (Jan. 10), the American Society of Cinematographers (Jan. 10), the Producers Guild of America (Jan. 10), and the Directors Guild of America (Jan. 12).
The 23rd annual SAG Awards will be handed out on Sunday, Jan. 29. The ceremony airs live on TNT and TBS at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT. Check out the full list of nominees below.
