SAG Awards Nomination Ballots Go Out Tomorrow

Ballots for the Screen Actors Guild Awards are due back by Dec. 10, and the nominees will be announced on Dec. 12

Ballots for the 19th Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations will be mailed to this year’s SAG Awards film and television nominating committees on Wednesday.

The Screen Actors Guild Award — the Actor — is presented for outstanding performances in motion pictures and primetime television. The nominees for performances in 2012, including the ensemble awards and the stunt ensemble honors, will be chosen by two separate film and television nominating panels, each comprising 2,100 members from across the country that were randomly selected this spring.

Submissions closed on Oct. 25.

Requests for nomination consideration in a category of the actor’s choosing were submitted by actors or, with the actor’s permission, by producers, studios/networks, agents, managers, or publicists.
