SAG-AFTRA Rebrands SAG Awards

The SAG-AFTRA board received a report from Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the national executive director and chief negotiator, that the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards will now be known as The Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA.

The new moniker is inspired by the statuette and the power of human performance.

“The Actor statuette represents the strength, dignity and creativity of our members, whose performances we honor,” said Sean Astin, president of SAG-AFTRA. “The new title of the show, The Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA, is meant to reinforce that theme and more accurately reflect the full name of our merged union. I congratulate our awards show team and Netflix for their work rebranding the program.”
