Your support makes all the difference.The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards have announced the nominees.
The nominations for this year’s SAGs, which honor the best performances in TV and film, were originally supposed to be announced by actors Joey King and Cooper Koch at a live event on Wednesday morning (January 8).
However, the in-person event was canceled due to the devastating wildfires and winds raging in the Los Angeles area, and nominees were instead announced in a press release.
Jon M. Chu’s hit Wicked musical adaptation leads the film nominees with five nods, while FX’s historical drama Shōgun triumphs in the television categories also with five nods.
Winners will be announced during the live ceremony hosted by Kristen Bell at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Viewers will be able to tune into a Netflix live stream of the event on February 23 at 8 p.m. EST.
