How nominees are chosen Each year, two separate nominating committees — one for TV and one for film — are chosen at random from the full membership to help decide the SAG Award nominees. Both are comprised of 2,500 SAG-AFTRA members in good standing from across the union. The committees have already been selected for this year, but your chance may still come! Committee members are randomly chosen from SAG-AFTRA's membership in the spring of each year and members must opt in to serve. Also, keep in mind that if you serve on either committee, you will be unable to do so again for at least eight years. Visit sagawards.org for details. Your turn to vote Monday, Jan. 4, was the deadline for eligibility to vote. Be sure SAG-AFTRA has your most current home and email address by logging into your member account on sagaftra.org. Final voting opens Wednesday, Feb. 10, when all eligible members will receive an email and postcard with voting information. If you prefer a paper ballot, be sure to request one before Friday, Feb. 26, by calling (800) 961-8287. Voting closes Wednesday, March 10, at noon PT, so make sure you complete your ballot and vote for your favorite performances! And the nominees are … The nominations will be announced live on Thursday, Feb. 4, on sagawards.org.
