Screen Actors Guild Awards changes name from SAG to The Actor Awards

 By Ananya Kumari


The Screen Actors Guild Awards, the marquee awards ceremony honouring actors, is getting a new name.

Known colloquially as the SAG Awards, the awards show will now be dubbed the Actor Awards presented by Sag-Aftra, the labour union representing US film, television and radio actors.

"Since the beginning, our statue has been called 'The Actor' and we're a show that's entirely about actors, so this new name is a perfect next step in the show's evolution," the show's executive producer said on Friday.


"Conclave" actors Sergio Castellitto, John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini and Ralph Fiennes won the Actor award in February. source: Getty images
