In this role, she serves as liaison to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation and oversees SAG-AFTRA's Special Projects Department, in addition to working on many other SAG-AFTRA initiatives. She is a member of the Producers Guild of America and the Television Academy's Producers Peer Group. "The SAG Awards has always been 'The actors' party in the actors' house.' That's especially true this year, with Sean having won four SAG Awards," said Connell. "I have really enjoyed working with Todd and Sean. Ideas fly and we laugh all of the time." The vision for the show is developed by the SAG Awards Committee, which consists of Chair JoBeth Williams, Vice Chair Daryl Anderson, Jason George, Woody Schultz and Elizabeth McLaughlin. They oversee every aspect of the production to ensure the show is the best is can be. With all the talent behind this year's show, it promises to be a great one.
