17^th Annual SAG Awards® Key Deadlines and Events Announced

Los Angeles (April 20, 2010) – The Screen Actors Guild members who will select the nominees for the 17^th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® have been selected by random sample from the entire pool of active SAG members nationwide, SAG Awards® Committee Chair JoBeth Williams announced today. Williams also announced the key deadlines and events leading up to the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® on Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011, when actors will present the coveted Actor® statuettes for outstanding performances of 2010 in motion pictures and primetime television, including the distinctive ensemble awards which commend the collaborative performance by a cast in a motion picture and by the ensemble casts of both comedy and dramatic television series.

Actor® nominees are selected by separate film and television nominating committees, each consisting of 2,100 SAG members from around the country, randomly selected anew each year.

To enable as many SAG members to participate in the nominating process as possible, actors may not serve on a nominating committee if they have done so in the past five years (up from a gap of three years for previous nominating committee random drawings). All active members of SAG will receive ballots to determine who will receive Actors® for the outstanding performances of 2010.

Submissions for the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will open Monday, July 12, 2010 at www.sagawards.org/submissions. Nominations for the 17th Annual SAG Awards will be announced Thursday, Dec. 16, 2010 at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.

The 17^th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony will be held Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011. The Screen Actors Guild Awards are anticipated by audiences as an emotional, memorable evening of live television and are watched closely by the industry as a precursor of possible Oscar® and Emmy® recognition. Of the top accolades presented to performers, only the Screen Actors Guild Awards are conferred solely by members of Screen Actors Guild. The SAG Awards was the first televised awards show to acknowledge the work of union members and the first to annually present ensemble and cast awards.
