The Screen Actors Guild Awards 2023 are quickly approaching!
The SAG-AFTRA Awards, which recognise and reward the year’s best performances in film and television, will be held on Sunday, Feb. 26, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
As part of a new partnership between SAG-AFTRA and Netflix, Netflix will stream the awards show live on its YouTube channel this year. The event will also be broadcast on the streaming service’s Twitter and Facebook pages.
The ceremony will be streamed live on Netflix itself rather than the service’s YouTube channel in 2024, as the actors’ union and Netflix announced before the nominations for the upcoming ceremony were announced on Jan. 11.
“We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new partnership with Netflix and we look forward to expanding the global audience for our show,” SAG-AFTRA national executive director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said in a January statement.

“In gratitude to the actors and the entertainment community for their countless hours of volunteer work, PEOPLE will make a significant grant to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s emergency assistance programs, which helps performing artists facing life-threatening illness and severe economic hardship,” a release reads.
“PEOPLE is thrilled to continue our unwavering commitment to the SAG Awards. It’s an honor to celebrate the incredible actors and the outstanding performances that have moved and changed us,” says PEOPLE Editor in Chief Wendy Naugle in the release.
She continues, “We are also proud to support the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, helping artists both in tough times, like during the pandemic, and exciting times, like when they first embark on their careers. We want artists to have opportunities for years to come.”
“We are so excited for the gala’s return and cannot thank PEOPLE enough for being such great partners time and time again,” adds SAG Awards Executive Producer Jon Brockett. “PEOPLE’s Post SAG Awards Gala is the perfect end point to a night celebrating actors and their craft.”
