The 2024 awards season is still underway and we will finally know which names will be competing for the SAG Awards this year when Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani reveal the nominations on Wednesday (Jan. 10) morning at 7 a.m. PT.
The announcement will be able to stream via the SAG Awards’ and Netflix’s Instagram Live. Apart from the nominations, SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher will make an appearance. She will likely speak about the strike that paralyzed the industry, along with the Writers Guild strike, for seven months.
The SAG awards recognize the best actors in six movie and nine TV categories. This will be the 30th edition of the awards, and it will take place at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Netflix will stream the ceremony for the first time
After acquiring the rights to the actor’s guild awards show last year, the ceremony will stream live on Netflix for the first time on February 24. Last year, the ceremony was streamed via YouTube because the platform was still struggling to stream live events.
In 2023, the biggest wins came for the cast of “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” which won four trophies including Cast category. On the other hand, in TV, the biggest winners were Abbott Elementary and The White Lotus (who also took the Cast category).
According to Variety’s predictions, this year’s favorite films to take the marquee category include Barbie, Oppenheimer, Killers of The Flower Moon, Air and Rustin. Meanwhile, in drama series, some of the favorites include Succession (likely winner), The Last of Us, and The Crown.
When it comes to Comedy Series, the big favorite is The Bear, followed by Ted Lasso, Jury Duty, Abbott Elementary and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. On the other hand, Barbra Streisand will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award.
