SAG-AFTRA 32
Stunts, like this one from CBS' CSI: Crime Scene
Investigation, require well-trained professional stunt
performers to be done safely.
The 21st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®
is the perfect time to give these unsung heroes
and heroines their due. On Jan. 25, stunt
performers will be recognized in two categories:
Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt
Ensemble in a Motion Picture and Outstanding
Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a
Comedy or Drama Series. The ceremony will
take place during the red carpet preshow, which
starts at 3 p.m. PT and may be viewed online at
sagawards.tntdrama.com and people.com.
These professionals have to be at the top of
their game every day — their lives depend on it.
They also depend heavily on each other, both on
and off set, which is one of the reasons the SAG
Awards recognizes the members of this tight-knit
community as a group.
SAG-AFTRA President Ken Howard has spent
a lot of time around stunt performers — his wife
Linda is one.
"When stunt performers do amazing work,
members of the audience can find themselves
discussing a fantastic performance without
ever knowing the performer's name," Howard
said. "This is a chance to shine the spotlight on
those whose important contributions are often
overlooked."
Watch the preshow Jan. 25, as SAG-AFTRA
honors these men and women of remarkable
bravery who always make the star look good.
