Additionally, to increase accessibility for SAG-AFTRA members, all FYC digital screeners of nominated titles are required to feature audio descriptions as an option for members who are blind or have low vision. It was also announced that the live SAG Awards telecast will now feature audio descriptions for the first time. Presented by Tide, the audio descriptions allow audiences who are blind or have low vision to enjoy the show more fully as it narrates the key visual elements during natural pauses in the ceremony’s dialogue through the audio description TV setting.
One of awards season’s premier events, the SAG Awards annually celebrates the outstanding motion picture and television performances from the previous calendar year (2021 SAG Awards Eligibility Period: March 1 - December 31, 2021). Of the top industry honors presented to actors, only the SAG Awards are selected entirely by performers’ peers in SAG-AFTRA with 124,000 eligible voters. The SAG Awards was the first televised awards show to acknowledge the work of union members and the first to present awards to motion picture casts and television ensembles.
