The 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - TV Nominees & Winners

Many television fans didn't give much thought to the Screen Actors Guild Awards until last year's writers' strike killed the Golden Globes Awards ceremony, leaving us without that annual cold winter night to celebrate the best of the best in television. Suddenly, the SAG Awards became the hottest ceremony of the year (aside from the Emmys) and millions tuned in to see what the fuss was all about.

The SAG Awards give actors the opportunity to celebrate and honor their own, making the recipient of this award truly special because they've earned the utmost respect of their equally hardworking peers.
