The Complete List Of 2018 SAG Award Nominations

In terms of awards season, the Screen Actor's Guild awards are set apart from all the rest. The ceremony celebrates acting only — it's just actors honouring other actors for doing good work over the year. This doesn't mean they're less important. This just means they're not as scrutinised as the other awards. A SAG award does not an Oscar award make, if you catch my drift.

Because it's a distinct ceremony, the SAG awards are a little more low-stakes. It's less about the competition and more about honouring great actors. The SAGs are also notable because they include an ensemble acting award, a heart-warming category that allows us to honour the TV shows and movies that showcased perfect acting all-around. (The Deuce, we're looking at you.)

The SAGs are a chance to celebrate the power players in 2017's best shows and movies — here's to the actors that we became obsessed with this year. To Saoirse Ronan! To David Harbour! To Timothee Chalamet! To the whole cast of Orange is the New Black! Actors, here's to you.
