The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards has announced its presenters, and it’s a who’s-who of Hollywood. The show, airing live on Netflix, is unique because it’s the only awards show where actors vote for other actors. The airdate is Sunday, February 23, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
Here’s the Lowdown: Julia Louis-Dreyfus will present the SAG Life Achievement Award to Jane Fonda. A long list of major stars will also present awards, including Ariana Grande, Ayo Edebiri, Cynthia Erivo, Harrison Ford, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jessica Williams, Jodie Foster, John Lithgow, Kerry Washington, Selena Gomez, Michelle Yeoh and many, many more. Kristen Bell will host the ceremony, and chef David Chang will handle the food.
What This Means Now: The SAG Awards are a significant event in awards season, and this year’s lineup of presenters indicates a major show. The live broadcast on Netflix makes it accessible to a global audience. Lilly Singh and Sasheer Zamata will host the pre-show, also on Netflix, starting at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT.
The Bigger Picture: With over 122,000 members, SAG-AFTRA has the largest voting body of any awards show. This makes winning a SAG Award a highly valued achievement for actors. The move to Netflix broadens the show’s reach and continues the trend of major awards ceremonies shifting to streaming platforms. The SAG Awards are known for being a favourite among industry professionals.
