The excitement is building for the 2025 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, as the nominations were announced on Wednesday morning. Leading the pack is FX's critically acclaimed series *Shōgun*, which garnered a whopping five nominations. Hot on its heels are *The Bear* with four nominations and HBO's *The Penguin*, which received three nods. This year’s ceremony promises to be an incredible showcase of talent and entertainment.

In a move to prioritize safety given the wildfires and adverse weather conditions affecting the Los Angeles area, the traditional in-person announcement of nominees was canceled. Instead, the nominations were shared via a detailed press release.

Mark your calendars! The 31st Annual SAG Awards will stream live globally on Netflix on Sunday, February 23, at 8/7c from the iconic Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. This year’s event will be hosted by the lively Kristen Bell, and the revered actress and activist Jane Fonda will be honored with the prestigious Life Achievement Award.
