The 2025 SAG Awards®: Full List of Nominees

SAG Awards

The nominees for the 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® have been announced by the SAG Awards®.

Typically celebrated with a grand ceremony, this year’s announcement was shared via a press release due to the devastating fires in California. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this tragedy.

The movie Wicked and the TV series Shōgun have emerged as the top contenders for the awards, each earning five nominations.

Wicked leads the film categories with recognition for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, as well as nods for its ensemble cast and stunt team.

Meanwhile, Shōgun dominates the television categories with nominations for standout performances by Tadanobu Asano, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Anna Sawai, along with acknowledgments for its ensemble cast and stunt team.

I was especially thrilled to see Nobody Wants This, my favorite show from last year, earn a well-deserved nomination.

The awards, produced by Silent House Productions in collaboration with SAG-AFTRA, will stream live worldwide on Netflix on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall.
