The Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) are just days away, and the event is set to be a memorable one as it honors actors who had a standout year. According to Variety, the show’s Executive Producer, Jon Brockett, shared, “Receiving a SAG Award is symbolic of an actor’s journey.” He added,”Being recognized by their peers of over 118,000 eligible SAG-AFTRA voters is a validation from those who truly understand the art, the challenges, sacrifices and triumphs of the craft. It’s an emphasis on the power of a performance.”
Jon continued, “The show itself is streamlined to deliver two efficient hours of fun live bits, heartfelt video packages and — also unique to the SAG Awards — we never cut off anyone’s speeches, which allows actors to truly have their full moment.”
The awards show will be hosted by Kristen Bell. Per Vanity Fair, she expressed, “I like hosting. I like bringing people together. I like making goofy jokes and making people laugh…. Being in a room full of my peers—there’s something very exciting about it. Plus, there’s a safety net because, as cutthroat as Hollywood can be, the SAG Awards have the best vibe because everyone’s excited to see each other, and they’re rooting for each other no matter who wins. So it was an easy yes.”
