Title: Unveiling the SAG Awards Nominees of 2025: When to Expect and How to Watch
Kickstarting the awards season on a high note, the 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards nominations are set to be unveiled on Wednesday. Following the triumphant 82nd annual Golden Globes, which saw significant victories for the musical sensation, Emilia Pérez, and historical drama, The Brutalist, the anticipation for this year's SAG Awards is palpable.

Five acting awards are presented to film actors, and six are given to television nominees. Each category features five nominees, with the film category recognizing Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture as its most esteemed honor.
The SAG Awards also recognize stunt ensembles. A total of 20 categories are represented in these prestigious awards.
The SAG Awards nominations announcement process commences with ceremonious acknowledgments for Outstanding Action Performances in a Stunt Ensemble by SAG Awards Committee members, Jason George and Elizabeth McLaughlin. Following this, SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher leads the live event.
The SAG Awards are a result of votes cast by SAG-AFTRA's sprawling membership, comprising 122,000-plus performers. The announcement of the nominees is slated for Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. ET / 7:30 a.m. PT, while the awards will be presented Sunday, Feb. 23, in Los Angeles, broadcast live on Netflix.
