Los Angeles, California – The key deadlines and events leading up to the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® -- the night that actors honor their own -- were announced today by SAG Awards™ Committee Chair Yale Summers. The prestigious industry event annually honors outstanding performances in five film categories and eight television categories, including the distinctive ensemble awards, which commend the collaborative performance by a cast in a motion picture and by the ensemble casts of both comedy and dramatic television series.

Nominations for the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® will be announced on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2007, at the Pacific Design Center’s SilverScreen Theater in West Hollywood. TNT and TBS will simulcast the annual presentation of the coveted Actor® statuettes from the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2007, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 7 p.m. Central and 6 p.m. MT, marking TNT’s 10th Actors® telecast and TBS’s second presentation of the SAG Awards™ ceremony.

This year’s simulcast of the Screen Actors Guild Awards® produced record ratings for Turner Broadcasting, The 12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®, which was watched by more than 5.4 million viewers, had its highest ever performance since coming to Turner Broadcasting in 1998 and posted significant growth among targeted demos, viewers and households, including a 136% increase in adults 18-34, a 96% increase in adults 18-49 and a 78% increase in adults 25-54.

Of the top accolades presented to performers, only the Screen Actors Guild Awards® are conferred solely by actors’ peers. The SAG Awards™ was the first televised awards show to acknowledge the work of union members and the first to present ensemble and cast awards. The SAG Awards™ nominees are selected by separate film and television nominating committees, each consisting of 2,100 SAG members from around the country, randomly selected anew each year. All active members of SAG will receive ballots to determine who will receive Actors® for outstanding performances in 2006.
