The Screen Actors Guild Award (also abbreviated as the SAG Award ) is a film and television award that is presented annually by the American actors' union Screen Actors Guild (SAG). You have to be a SAG member to work as an actor in the United States. All members of the actors' union are entitled to vote. The last award so far took place on January 19, 2020 in Los Angeles.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards are presented in a joint ceremony in currently 15 different categories (six in the film sector and nine in the television sector ). The winners receive the so-called “actor” statuette, which depicts a man with a laughing mask in one hand and a sad mask in the other.
In contrast to the Golden Globe Award , for example, SAG only honors film, television and ensemble actors with this award . The award ceremony is one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry and, along with the Golden Globe, is one of the indicators for the upcoming Oscars .
history
The Screen Actors Guild , which was founded in 1933, first presented the Life Achievement Award in 1962 to honor actors for their life's work and services to the Screen Actors Guild. The former SAG President Eddie Cantor was the first winner . The first regular presentation of the Screen Actors Guild Awards took place on February 25, 1995 at Universal Studios in Universal City . The so-called “actor” statuette was also presented for the first time. The four film and eight television categories awarded at the time also included an ensemble category each for drama and comedy series, in which each leading actor involved was recognized. At the second award almost exactly a year later, such an ensemble category was also introduced for films.
For the second award in 1996, the event moved to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica . Since 1997 the SAG Awards have been held regularly at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles . For the 14th award ceremony in January 2008, two new categories were created for the stunt ensemble of a film or series. The total number of categories rose to 15.
In March 2012, the Screen Actors Guild merged with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) to form SAG-AFTRA . For the award ceremony in 2018 , a presenter was appointed for the first time, Kristen Bell .
Television broadcast
The television broadcast of the event was broadcast live from the US broadcaster NBC from 1995 to 1997 . The cable broadcaster TNT has been broadcasting the award ceremony since 1998 and the cable broadcaster TBS, which has also been part of the same parent company, since 2006 .
