How SAG Awards voting works

On Monday, December 16, the eventual winners at next year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony will take their first steps on the road to glory. That’s the date voting begins for the 2025 SAG Awards nominations, the first step before the SAG-AFTRA union reveals its 2025 nominees.

How does SAG Awards voting work? Gold Derby asked editor-in-chief Debra Birnbaum and senior editor Marcus James Dixon to explain the process in great detail and answer every burning question about how SAG Awards winners are chosen each year.
