Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are returning for its 2022 edition.
Gatekeepers News the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are returning to a two-hour format for its 2022 edition, which will be aired in the last weekend of February.
This year’s show adopted a one-hour, completely virtual format, which saw “Trial of the Chicago 7” crowned the top film ensemble and television acting honours going to the casts of “The Crown” for drama and “Schitt’s Creek” for comedy.
Feb. 27 was initially scheduled for the 2022 Oscars ceremony. It was later pushed to March 27 because it clashed with SAG Awards. The show, which honours the best performances in television and film, will air on TNT and TBS.
The SAG Awards is a reliable Oscar forerunner, though this year “Nomadland” took home the best picture Academy Award. All SAG Awards film winners this year were actors of colour, but that feat was not repeated at the Oscars.
In 2021 Hollywood’s awards were delayed, and upended, by the coronavirus pandemic. The 2022 season has already been shaken up by NBC’s decision not to air the Golden Globe Awards in January due to that organisation’s response to an LA Times investigation that revealed among its findings that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had no Black members.
