The Screen Actors Guild Award - The Actor® - is presented by SAG-AFTRA for outstanding performances in motion pictures, television, cable and new media programs. Performances in new media-originated programs which follow the format of traditional series, movies and miniseries and which satisfy all other eligibility criteria shall be considered for nomination. Actors may submit their own performances from 2014 for consideration in categories of the actor's choosing. With the actor's permission, producers, studios/networks, agents, managers, or publicists may also submit performances for consideration in the category designated by the actor. Nominations for the 21st Annual SAG Awards® will be announced on Wednesday, Dec. 10 at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
