SAG Awards 2021: Complete List of Nominees and Winners

A star-studded night! The 27th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were presented from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Sunday, April 4, with the biggest names in film and TV coming together to honor each other’s impressive work.

In July 2020, it was announced that the upcoming ceremony would be postponed from January 24 to March 14 due to the coronavirus pandemic, changing the eligibility timeframe for nominees. The event was delayed once again when the Grammy Awards rescheduled their annual show for the same day in March.

“Throughout these challenging times, our industry and our union members have proven their creativity and resilience in discovering new methods of storytelling while adapting to new safety protocols and procedures,” a statement shared on the SAG Awards’ official website said of the switch in January. “We embrace that spirit as we reimagine the SAG Awards with a one-hour special that highlights and expands on our signature I am an Actor opening and honors the outstanding performances of the past year.”

Nominations were announced via Instagram Live in February. The Crown and Schitt’s Creek are tied for the most nods with five each. Chadwick Boseman also scored two posthumous nominations for his work in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Da 5 Bloods. The late actor died in August 2020 after privately battling colon cancer for four years. He was 43.

Television fans were thrilled to see Netflix’s Bridgerton in the mix after it was left out of the running for the 2021 Golden Globes. Two days before the SAG Awards, news broke that the show’s leading man, Regé-Jean Page, would not return for season 2.

“Pleasure and a privilege!” the 31-year-old British actor tweeted on Friday, April 2, after the shocking exit made headlines. “An honour to be a member of the family – on and off screen, cast, crew and incredible fans – the love is real and will just keep growing.”
