Q: COULD I BE A NOMINATING COMMITTEE MEMBER THIS YEAR? A: Both nominating committees have already been chosen. Committee members are selected from SAG-AFTRA's membership in the spring and each individual must opt in to serve. If you serve on either committee, you will be unable to do so again for at least eight years. Visit sagawards.org for more information about the Nominating Committee guidelines. Q: CAN ALL MEMBERS ATTEND THE SHOW? A: Seating at the SAG Awards is very limited, but eligible, active SAG-AFTRA members can participate in the lottery to purchase tickets. Visit sagawards.org/membertickets to submit your information. Tickets are not available to the general public. Q: WHAT IF I STILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? A: Visit sagawards.org/members/voting for more information, or email the SAG Awards team at awardsinfo@sagawards.org. And, keeping up with the latest updates is easy! Follow facebook.com/sagawardsofficialpage and @sagawards on Twitter and Instagram. Q: HOW DOES VOTING WORK? IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL I NEED TO DO? A: Becoming eligible to vote is a really easy process: simply ensure that your November 2019 dues are paid by Monday, Dec. 2, and you're in! Also, be sure to check that the Membership Department has your most current home and/or email address by calling (855) 724-2387, or logging into your account on sagaftra.org. Final voting opens Tuesday, Dec. 17. Around that time, all eligible members will receive an email and postcard (see above right) with voting information. If you prefer a paper ballot, be sure to request one before Friday, Jan. 3, 2020, by calling (800) 961-8287. Voting closes Friday, Jan. 17, 2020. Q: WILL WE GET TO SEE THE PERFORMANCES BEFORE VOTING CLOSES? A: Of course! All eligible members will receive an email from SAG Awards detailing all For Your Consideration options once voting opens on Dec. 17. Just remember: networks and studios ultimately have the final say in choosing how nominated performances will (or will not) be available, whether it's through DVD screeners, in-person screenings and Q&A's or streaming options.
