Nov. 15 (UPI) — The Screen Actors Guild has announced a name change for the annual Hollywood ceremony where it hands out prizes for excellence in film and TV acting.
Instead of being known as the SAG Awards, the gala will now be called The Actor Awards.
“Since the beginning, our statue has been called The Actor and we’re a show that’s entirely about actors, so this new name is a perfect next step in the show’s evolution,” Jon Brockett, the Actor Awards showrunner and executive Producer, said in a statement Friday.
“The Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA gives viewers in 190-plus countries an immediate understanding of who we are and what we’re about.”
This year’s event is to take place on March 1. It will stream on Netflix.
