The 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards 2016

 

The 22nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, honoring the best achievements in film and television performances for the year 2015, will be presented on January 30, 2016 on both TNT and TBS 8:00 p.m. EST / 5:00 p.m. PST. Nominees were announced on December 9, 2015.  Carol Burnett was announced as the 2015 SAG Life Achievement Award honoree on July 20, 2015.

SAG Awards nominations come from two panels — one for film, one for TV — comprising roughly 2,200 randomly chosen voters from within the membership. But every SAG-AFTRA member in good standing — 116,741, per the group’s count — chooses the winners. That kind of volume usually results in safe choices.
