SAGAFTRA.org | Special Issue 2017 | SAG-AFTRA 38 Y ou can't believe your eyes because the action is real, not a CGI simulation. You are behind the wheel with a SAG-AFTRA stunt performer. The thrills and spills that make for a great action sequence on screen begin with highly trained professionals, and the talents of these gutsy men and women will be celebrated on Jan. 29, 2017, during the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Before the show begins, tune into sagawards.tntdrama.com, sagawards.org and people.com for the Red Carpet Pre-Show and coverage of the Stunt Ensemble honors. Honorees will be recognized in the categories of 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 nominees were announced Dec. 14. SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris, who was once seriously injured during a stunt, said she knows firsthand the risks that stunt performers take, and the value of experience and preparation in making those risks calculated ones. "I have so much respect for the professionals who help create the illusion of life-or-death situations while still protecting themselves and others on set from harm," Carteris said. "To be so committed to safety while delivering compelling performances speaks volumes of their talent, art and courage." SAGAFTRA.org | Special Issue 2017 | SAG-AFTRA 38
