Last night on Sunday, January 29, 2012, tons of Hollywood’s biggest television and movie stars came together for the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. What’s interesting about the SAG awards is that there isn’t some predetermined committee that votes every year; instead its members vote on the SAG Award nominees and recipients. The Screen Actors Guild represents over 100,000 television and film actors. Of these, 4,200 are randomly selected to choose the nominees in thirteen performance categories (plus two stunt ensemble categories). Then all of the SAG members receive a ballot in order to vote for the award recipients. <\/span>

The SAG Awards only honor performers in film and television; and they also give awards to out standing ensemble casts. See the nominees and recipients of the outstanding performance by and male and female actor in a leading role below.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
