The SAG Awards 2024 were streamed live on Netflix, a first for a major Hollywood award show. That made for some significant tweaks to the age-old traditions of such ceremonies. There were no ads. Profanity was permitted. (“Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say in front of Oprah,” said Idris Elba.) And winners were occasionally interviewed backstage by red-carpet co-host Tan France — sometimes awkwardly, sometimes charmingly.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards, commonly known as the SAG Awards, are accolades given by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) to recognize outstanding performances in film and prime time television. The awards ceremony typically takes place annually, honoring both individual actors and ensemble casts. Categories include awards for outstanding performance by a male actor, female actor, and ensemble in both film and television, as well as awards for stunt ensembles in film and television. The SAG Awards are considered prestigious within the entertainment industry, as they are voted on by fellow actors, making them a unique recognition from peers.
