Yes, it is only October, but it's never too early to be thinking about awards season. As the fall festivals wind down, all eyes in Hollywood are now fixed on the upcoming slate of award shows that will roll out in late 2024 and early 2025. Of course one of the most prestigious for actors is the annual SAG Awards.
The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards (or SAGs as they've come to be known), are awards handed out each year to television and film actors. They're voted on by their piers in the Screen Actors Guild and handed out at a star studded ceremony every year in the weeks leading up to the Academy Awards. While the 2025 SAGs are still months away, we do already have some info, and we'll be updating this post throughout the year to keep you up to date.
Here's everything we know about the 2025 SAG Awards:
When are the 2025 SAG Awards?
The 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (or the 2025 SAGs) will be passed out on Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025. This is the same calendar slot as the 2024 SAGs, although they've moved from a Saturday to a Sunday. Coming just a few weeks before the Oscars, everyone will be watching to see who takes home the prestigious precursor.

When will the 2025 SAG Awards nominations be announced?
The nominations will be announced on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025, a month and a half before the ceremony.
Who are the 2025 SAG Awards nominees?
No nominees have been announced yet. We'll update this post in January when we've got the list of nominees.
Who will get the 2025 SAG Life Achievement Award?
Actor and activist Jane Fonda will be honored with the 2025 SAG Life Achievement Award.
“Jane Fonda is a trailblazer and an extraordinary talent; a dynamic force who has shaped the landscape of entertainment, advocacy and culture with unwavering passion,” SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher stated in the press release announcing the award. “We honor Jane not only for her artistic brilliance but for the profound legacy of activism and empowerment she has created. Her fearless honesty has been an inspiration to me and many others in our industry.”
A fun bit of trivia is that in 2023, Fonda appeared in 80 For Brady alongside Lily Tomlin, Sally Field and Rita Moreno, all of whom have also won the SAG Life Achievement Award, making Fonda the fourth member of the cast to take home the prestigious honor.
What time do the 2025 SAG Awards start?
The 2025 SAG Awards will start at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025.
Where will the 2025 SAG Awards take place?
No location for 2025 has been announced but the awards will likely be handed out at the Shrine Auditorium. In 2024, the SAGs will be moving back to the Shrine Auditorium, the venue that hosted the awards show from 1998-2020. The last two ceremonies were held elsewhere due to COVID, but in 2024, they're returning to the iconic Las Angeles venue that has also hosted the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys and the Pepsi commercial where Michael Jackson set his hair on fire.
How to watch and live stream the 2025 SAG Awards?
The 2025 SAG Awards will be streamed live directly onto Netflix. While the ceremony aired on cable networks TBS and TNT for years, the SAGs moved over to Netflix in 2023 in a multi-year deal.
Who is eligible for the 2025 SAG Awards?
The 2025 SAG Awards will honor acting performances that premiered or aired during the 2024 calendar year. That means that any film performance from 2024 is eligible, just like the Oscars. On the TV side, there is a little wiggle room for TV shows that have seasons that cross between two years, but the contenders match up with the Golden Globe Awards more than the Emmys, which don't operate on a calendar year.

Who is the 2025 SAG Awards host?
The 2025 host has yet to be announced, if they have one at all. Hostless ceremonies have been trendy as of late, and the 2024 ceremony did not have a host.
Who votes for the SAG Awards?
During the nominating phase, two committees (one for TV, one for film) are randomly selected from the members of the Screen Actors Guild. Those two committees, each with 2,100 appointees, vote for the nominees in their division.
Then for the actual winners, all 165,000+ members of SAG are able to vote, making it one of the largest voting bodies of awards season.
