Awards season is continuing at high speed.
Along with celebrating the best and brightest in television and cinema, the SAG Award winners are exclusively chosen by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. This year, the awards, held in Los Angeles, will be shown live on Sunday on from Netflix’s YouTube channel. Membership in the SAG-AFTRA union is often considered a rite of passage for actors, as the membership gives them exclusive benefits.
