The SAG Awards have been running since 1995 and is the only televised show to exclusively honor performers, with thirteen awards for acting in film and television.

“The awards focus on both individual performances as well as on the work of the entire ensemble of a drama series and comedy series, and the cast of a motion picture,” the SAG website states.

The 19th annual SAG Awards takes place on January 27, 2013.
