About the SAG Awards
Understanding the SAG Awards
The Actor Awards are determined by committees comprising 2,000 members from the film and television sectors, selected from SAG-AFTRA's total membership of around 22,000. Nomination voting occurred in early January 2026, followed by final voting leading up to the ceremony. The SAG Awards are often seen as a reliable predictor for the Oscars due to the actor voting body.
