The annual SAG Awards recognize actors in movies and television shows. While you won’t be able to watch this year’s ceremony, iteration 29, directly on Netflix this year, Netflix is still involved in streaming. Instead, you’ll be able to watch the show, which will take place on February 26 at 8 p.m. ET, at the company’s youtube channel. (You can see the complete list of nominees in Deadline.) Next year the show will be on Netflix, and presumably for many years after that, as Netflix and the SAG Awards call their work a “multi-year partnership.”
Netflix built its empire on streaming on-demand content, but as it looks to win back subscribers amid increasing competition, the company is beginning to explore live content. The company confirmed back in May that it was considering streaming live, and now we’re starting to see its first live efforts with the upcoming Chris Rock special and the SAG Awards. And Netflix isn’t the only streaming service experimenting with live content: Disney Plus streamed the 2022 Academy Awards nominations back in February.
