The 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are set to honor the finest performances in film and television. This year, the nominations announcement faced an unexpected challenge.
Due to wildfires in Los Angeles, the live event, originally scheduled at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall, was canceled for safety reasons. Instead, SAG revealed the nominations on January 8 at 7:30 a.m. PT through a press release and their official website.
The SAG Awards hold a prestigious place in the entertainment industry, recognizing exceptional talent in individual performances and ensemble work. With 15 categories, they celebrate everything from dramatic roles to action-packed stunts. The nominations often hint at potential Oscar winners, adding to the anticipation.
The ceremony will take place on February 23, 2025, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Kristen Bell will host the event, streaming live on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET. Fans and industry professionals alike are looking forward to this celebration of talent.
