You can update your phone number, email, and mailing address (for all SAG Awards mailings only), or change the regions where you receive screening notifications in your Nom Comm Dashboard.

IMPORTANT: All Nom Comm address changes must be made with the Awards Office, as our database is not shared with SAG-AFTRA membership.

The SAG Awards Motion Picture and Television Nominating Committees are newly drawn each year. Each Committee is made up of 2,500 members. The committees are selected from a random computer-generated lottery drawing of active, paid-up members.

Members selected to serve on the Motion Picture and Television Nominating Committees are not eligible to serve on their respective committees again for 8 years. This allows more members the opportunity to serve on these important committees.

Yes. We want to keep you and your information confidential from the studios/networks and the press. You may tell your friends and family but DO NOT post any information about your service or FYC materials received on social media.

No. Service on the Nominating Committee is voluntary and considered a privilege.

Unfortunately, no. Our venue is not large enough to hold our Actor Awards nominees and their guests, as well as all 5,000 Nominating Committee members. We appreciate your understanding and continued support of the Actor Awards. You can still join the celebration by tuning in to the live broadcast on Netflix on March 1, 2026, or attending a watch party at select SAG-AFTRA local offices across the country.

Unfortunately, no. We are unable to accept volunteers due to liability reasons.

No. Members’ dues are not used to produce the Actor Awards.

You can retrieve your Awards PIN anytime in your Nom Comm Dashboard. Your Awards PIN is a 7-digit alphanumeric code that is unique to you. This PIN is your key to unlocking digital FYC options and voting online to select the nominees for the 32nd Annual Actor Awards.

Absolutely not. Sharing your Awards PIN, Committee website access, or Nom Comm card with anyone is strictly prohibited. Any violation of this rule could result in your immediate removal from present or future Nominating Committees, jeopardize final voting eligibility and eligibility to receive For Your Consideration materials, as well as subject you to union disciplinary charges.

Your digital Nom Comm card identifies you as a member of the Motion Picture Nominating Committee. This card can be printed or downloaded and shown on your phone to admit you to events hosted by the studios and allow for priority seating.

You can find your digital Nom Comm card attached to your Confirmation of Service email. Should you lose this email, you can resend it anytime from your Nom Comm Dashboard.

You will be notified via email of any opportunities to see films for free with your Nom Comm card. Digital screeners, DVDs, and Nom Comm event screenings will be more common.

Right away. The eligibility period is January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025.

You can access a list of all submitted eligible performances for consideration in your Nom Comm Dashboard.

Yes. There are no specific requirements on how many films you view. Like any voting process, we ask you to be as informed as you can be before making your selections.

As no membership dues are used to hold screenings or send DVDs or digital screeners of motion pictures up for consideration, the cost of doing so is left to the studios. While we encourage every studio to make their projects available to the Nominating Committee, we cannot require them to do so.

Actors may submit their own performances for consideration in categories of the actor’s choosing. With the actor’s permission, producers, studios/networks, agents, managers, or publicists may also submit performances for consideration.

Voting for the SAG Awards will be solely online. Your Awards PIN is your key to vote online for Actor Awards nominees and unlock digital FYC options sent by the studios. You can retrieve your Awards PIN anytime by visiting the Nom Comm website. Online voting will open on Monday, December 15th, 2025.

All votes must be cast by Sunday, January 4th, 2026 at 5 PM PT.

We recommend studios send their titles to Nom Comm members as soon as possible. We expect activity to pick up in October/November through the voting deadline in January.

As no membership dues are used to provide screeners of films for consideration, the cost of doing so is left to the studios and networks. While we encourage every studio to make their projects available to the Nominating Committee, we cannot require them to do so.

DVDs will only be sent to members who opted in to receive them.

Due to the serious concern over piracy, some networks and studios may choose to provide encoded (or watermarked) screeners, where the screener is encoded specifically to your Awards PIN. This will only be for select online digital screeners decided upon by the studios.

Yes. You will need a computer, laptop, phone, or tablet and an internet connection to access digital screeners and FYC Extras. Some streaming platforms for digital screeners may have an app that can be downloaded on an Apple TV, Roku, or Smart TV.

You may certainly watch your DVDs or digital screeners with friends and family; however, you are prohibited from loaning, renting, selling, or otherwise distributing the DVDs, or streaming information you have been provided as a member of the Nominating Committee.

Per studio guidelines, once Awards season is over, you may either cut the DVDs in half or scratch the bottom of the discs to render them unusable. You may not loan, rent, sell, or give away your screeners to anyone.

Your Awards PIN and digital screener access will automatically expire on January 5, 2025, after nominations voting closes.

Studios host their own digital screeners and you may see different platforms with varying support options. Help options will be clearly marked on each screening site and linked to specific help options. These may be a mix of FAQs or access to a live support team.

Throughout the nominations period, studios will invite Nom Comm members to attend FYC events, Q&As, and screenings.

Most event invitations are sent via email and you can RSVP directly to the studio hosting the event. When RSVPing, please make sure to indicate 'SAG Awards Nom Comm' as your affiliation.

You may also receive limited invitations or screening calendars listing screenings without Q&As in the mail.

IMPORTANT: You may want to check your spam filter and security settings on your email account to allow screening notices to be emailed to you. These notices may be blocked if your settings are too high. Add the following email address to your address book in order to ensure the email is recognized: DoNotReply@mg.ivsballot.com.

You can find a list of Nominating Committee events by location HERE. Official SAG Awards Nom Comm Q&A events will be posted as they're scheduled.

No. As attendance at FYC events is voluntary, no travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Many studios will also make their titles available streaming digitally or on DVD for viewing at home. If you have specific questions about which programs may be sent, please contact the Awards Office.

RSVPs are handled directly by the studios hosting events. Confirmation emails with additional information will be sent from them typically within a three-day period prior to the event. In some cases, confirmations may not be emailed until closer to the event date.

Some events for films that have not been released or have high-profile panelists can fill very quickly due to high demand. Studios manage RSVPs for their events directly and unfortunately, the Actor Awards Office cannot assist in adding you to the list for an event that is full.

Most screening invites are for you and a guest, but please read all invites thoroughly and RSVP accordingly.

A reminder that Nominating Committee members and their guests are expected to behave in a professional and courteous manner when participating in events and Q&As. Please choose your guests carefully.

Yes. Please cancel using the cancellation email address provided on the invitation, as this will allow others to attend. These events are first-come, first-serve. If your plans change after you RSVP and you cannot make it, you must cancel.

It is up to the studio’s discretion whether or not they record event panels. Any pre-recorded events the studios choose to make available will be sent out through FYC Extras emails.

While we hope everyone has a good experience at studio-hosted events, occasionally problems arise. Please contact the Awards Office with any issues: awardsinfo@actorawards.org, 323-549-6707.
