Actor Awards: New Name, Familiar Races
19 Nov
Summary
- Actor Awards, formerly SAG Awards, set for March 1.
- Over 122,000 performers eligible to vote.
- Ensemble category highlights films with strong casts.
The Actor Awards, formerly the Screen Actors Guild Awards, are scheduled for March 1, with nominations to be revealed on January 7. This prestigious event, boasting the largest voting body with over 122,000 SAG-AFTRA performers, will stream live on Netflix, recognizing outstanding achievements in film and television for performances debuting in 2025.
A standout element of the Actor Awards is its ensemble category, which honors the collective talent of a film's cast. This award often spotlights films with actors poised for individual nominations, such as "Bugonia" and "Marty Supreme." However, ensemble wins are not dependent on individual nods, as demonstrated by past victories for "Black Panther" and "Parasite," highlighting the strength of robust casts.
This year's nominations are expected to feature many familiar faces, with potential contenders across lead and supporting acting categories for both film and television. The Actor Awards often mirror Emmy outcomes but offer unique distinctions, particularly with the inclusion of shows like "The Morning Show" and "The Gilded Age" this year, promising a dynamic awards season.
