SAG Awards Rebranded as 'Actor Awards' for 2025 Ceremony
14 Nov
Summary
- SAG Awards to be officially renamed "Actor Awards"
- Change aligns award name with iconic statuette
- Netflix to stream the ceremony starting in 2023
In a significant move, the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be rebranded as the "Actor Awards" starting with the 2025 ceremony. The change, announced on November 14, 2025, is intended to better align the show's name with the iconic "Actor" statuette that has been presented since the awards' inception over 30 years ago.
The Actor Awards, presented by the SAG-AFTRA union, have become an increasingly prominent part of Hollywood's awards season, often serving as a key bellwether for the Oscars. The decision to rebrand the ceremony comes as the event continues to be streamed by Netflix, which has hosted the show since 2023.
SAG-AFTRA explained that the name change will provide "clearer recognition in terms of what the show is about for our domestic and global audiences - we honor actors in film and television." The organization stated that the rebranding has been discussed for some time, though they did not provide further details on the reasoning behind the move.
