SAG Awards Streaming On Netflix

Bringing the SAG Awards to Netflix was a wild event when it was announced in 2022. People wondered how it was going to work and decried a show that used to be shown on standard broadcast moving to a streaming model. However, Netflix remains confident that the audience will remain the same despite not multi-streaming on YouTube like in years past.

“The SAG Awards are beloved by the creative community and viewers alike, and now even more fans around the world will be able to celebrate these talented actors,” Netflix Head of Global TV Bela Bajaria previously said. “As we begin to explore live streaming on Netflix, we look forward to partnering with SAG-AFTRA to elevate and expand this special ceremony as a global live event in 2024 and the years to come.” 

“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 added. “As the only televised awards program exclusively honoring the performances of actors, whose work is admired by millions of fans, the SAG Awards are a unique and cherished part of the entertainment universe.”

Who Will Dominate This Year?

The story of the SAG Awards last year was the dominance of Everything Everywhere All at Once. The cast won the award for Outstanding Performance by A Cast in A Motion Picture. When they took to the stage, the joy was palpable. In what might have been the best moment of the night, James Hong gave some remarks after his long career in Hollywood. The 90-plus-year-old actor has seen some things in this town.

“I got my first SAG card 70 years ago,” Hong told the crowd. “My first movie was with Clark Gable. But back in those days, [in] The Good Earth, the leading role was played with guys with eyes taped up like this. The producers said the Asians are not good enough and they are not box office [material]. But look at us now!”
