The list of categories and nominees is very long, and I don't think I can reproduce it here. Please click on the OP link to read list of nominations. Many of the same names were found on the Golden Globes candidates list, which were awarded less than a week ago. What's different about the SAG/AFTRA awards is that they tend to focus on entire casts of a motion picture or television show rather than certain individual efforts.

There's less emphasis on technical achievements such as sound effects, CGI, etc. Therefore the SAG awards focus mainly on the actors themselves and how the casts work together to create a better performance.
