The Actor Awards are ready for their close-up.
The ceremony, previously known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, will don its new name this weekend.

Nominations for the Actors arrived this morning. And if you’re thinking, “Actors nominations? Who voted for these awards?” I could go into an exaggerated Abbott and Costello routine or simply remind you that the Screen Actors Guild recently rebranded its annual awards ceremony as the Actor Awards or, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing, the Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA.
The Actor Awards have two separate nominating committees, one for movies and one for television, each consisting of approximately 2,500 randomly selected, active SAG-AFTRA members. We’ll concern ourselves now with the nominations on the film side, as the guild’s awards are usually one of the most accurate bellwethers for the Oscars.

The actors have spoken.
The nominations for the 32nd Actor Awards — formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards — were announced Wednesday morning. And, as recently elected SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin emphasized during his opening remarks, what distinguishes the Actor Awards from other honors is that “it is created exclusively by actors and for actors.”
