IT OFTEN GOES UNSAID, but an awards
show isn't just about the glitz, glamour and
exquisite dinners.
No. At its heart, an awards show is a
reunion, the chance to return to a space
that's both familiar and new, to see old
colleagues and friends, and to make new
ones. And, most importantly, it's about
celebrating one another.
For nearly three decades, the member-
led SAG Awards Committee has ensured
that the SAG Awards
®
is just that for actors
from all corners of the industry, but that
sense of community was most strongly felt
on Feb. 27. At the height of the 2022 awards
season, SAG-AFTRA actors descended upon
the historic Barker Hangar in Santa Monica,
California, to reunite after two years. And,
in living up to its theme, "Together Again,"
presenters that evening introduced some
of the industry's favorite friends onstage,
including Romy and Michele's High School
