The Screen Actors Guild on Monday announced a nearly 70% increase in “for your consideration” videotape mailings to the nominating committee and a 7% increase in submissions for the 7th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
“Submissions for nomination consideration and tape mailings to our Nominating Committees have grown each year,” Karla Tamburelli, SAG Awards co-chair, said in a press release.
“We are pleased by the expanding support for the SAG Awards and the recognition by the Industry of the significance of a SAG Award nomination,” added Yale Summers, Tamburelli’s fellow co-chair.
Submissions will be accepted until 5 p.m. PST on Wednesday. The Screen Actors Guild Award — the Actor — is presented to actors voted on by their peers for outstanding performances in motion pictures and on primetime television.
Nominations for the SAG Awards will be announced Jan. 30, and the awards event will be telecast live on March 11 on TNT.
