The Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA, formerly the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, are accolades given by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The award was founded in 1995, to recognize outstanding performances in film and primetime television. The awards have been one of the major awards events in the Hollywood film industry since, along with the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards. The awards focus both on individual performances and the work of the entire ensemble of a drama series and comedy series, and the cast of a motion picture.
Nominations for the awards come from two committees, one for film and one for television, each numbering 2,100 members of the union, randomly selected anew each year, with the full membership (165,000 as of 2012) available to vote for the winners. It is considered an indicator of success at the Academy Awards in acting categories. The awards were telecast on NBC from 1995 to 1997 and on TNT from 1998 to 2022, with a simulcast on TBS from 2007 to 2022. In 2023, Netflix livestreamed the awards on its YouTube channel. Netflix began to air the awards live in 2024.
