According to SAG-AFTRA, which announced the change on Friday, the move was made to better align the name of the awards show with the name of the statue that is handed out. In this case, the physical SAG Awards trophy has been known as the “Actor” since the launch of the ceremony in 1995.
“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,” said Jon Brockett, the showrunner and executive producer of the telecast. “‘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.
