After a tough year of strikes, industry disputes, significant job loss, and over 100,000 actors out of work, Screen Actors Guild (SAG) members deserve to let their hair down. Every year, the film and TV actors who make up the SAG-AFTRA labor union get together to celebrate excellence in their field at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. The categories for the SAG Awards don’t include direction, writing, and production. This ceremony is solely for actors to recognize other actors, and is a must-watch if you want a glimpse behind Hollywood’s glittering curtain.
If you hold your own opinions on acting performances from the past year, it’s always fun to see how they compare to the views of industry veterans. The event takes place right before the end of the Oscars voting window, with the industry paying close attention to the winners as the 2024 film and TV awards season draws to a close.
The good news is that the ceremony has made it easy for cord-cutters to catch the live footage from the SAG Awards without a cable subscription. Here’s what you need to know about the SAG Awards, including all the ways to watch.
What Channel Are the SAG Awards 2024 On? What Time Do the SAG Awards 2024 Start?
The SAG Awards isn’t streaming on a cable network this year. No host has been announced for the 2024 ceremony, with the ceremony likely going without a designated host, as it did in 2023. With many A-list actors filling the room, however, there’s no shortage of exciting faces presenting the awards. Last year’s presenting team included famous faces like Colin Farrell, Orlando Bloom, Stephanie Hsu, and Emily Blunt, so we’re likely to see some of the biggest names in film from last year take the stage to present awards in the upcoming ceremony. Barbara Streisand will be presented with the special Life Achievement Award for her decades-long career. The event will be moving back to its longtime home at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles after a couple of years at other venues.
Here’s all of the information about the event:
- When are the SAG Awards 2024? Saturday, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT
- Who is hosting the SAG Awards 2024? TBA
- Where are the SAG Awards 2024? Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles
- Where will the SAG Awards 2024 be broadcast? Netflix
How to Watch the SAG Awards 2024 Online Without Cable
Starting with the 2024 ceremony, the SAG Awards have made it easier than any other awards show for cord-cutters to watch due to a new multiyear partnership with Netflix. The event will stream live exclusively on Netflix, forgoing a cable broadcast. If you already have a Netflix subscription, you’ll have automatic access to the live footage from the SAG Awards.
There’s a slight downside to this for cord-cutters who don’t have a Netflix subscription. Because the event isn’t airing on TV, there’s no way to use skinny bundles that include live TV channels to stream the footage. This means that there’s no way to access the ceremony on platforms like Hulu + Live TV or fuboTV, which cord-cutters often turn to for live events.
