SUBMISSIONS FOR NOMINATION CONSIDERATION OPEN JULY 11
Submissions for nomination consideration for the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will open on Monday, July 11, 2016, at sagawards.org/submissions.

Actors may also submit their own performances. Submissions may only be made online and will close on Monday, Oct. 24, 2016.
NOMINATING COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
Of the top industry honors presented to actors, only the SAG Awards are selected entirely by performers' peers in SAG-AFTRA. Potential members of this year's separate film and television nominating committees--now grown to 2500 members each--were randomly drawn on March 3rd and were required to opt-in by April 8th. SAG-AFTRA actor/performers, singers, dancers or stunt performers from around the country who had not served on the same nominating committee in the past eight years and who paid their November 2015 membership dues by February 26, 2016 were eligible.
The SAG Awards was the first televised awards show to acknowledge the work of union members and the first to present awards to motion picture casts and television ensembles.
