The SAG Awards ceremony migrates to Netflix: towards a new era?

Are streaming platforms the future eldorado of these endless award shows losing television audiences?

The powerful American union of actors - the SAG - opened a breach by announcing that it had concluded a broadcasting agreement with Netflix.

The firm will put online, on February 26 on its Youtube channel, the award ceremony of the influential guild, whose preferences often align with those of the Oscars.

The 2024 edition will be broadcast directly on the platform.

The SAG Awards, which reward actors on the small and big screen, were launched in 1995. Its first broadcaster was the traditional channel NBC, then the retransmission was provided by the cable channels of the Warner group TNT and TBS.

This contract expired in 2022. In a press release, SAG officials welcomed this transfer, hoping that it would allow the ceremony to find a bigger audience.

Especially internationally.

This migration to the platforms may revolutionize the topography of the price season.

The Golden Globes could emulate the SAG.

Splashed by scandals of corruption and racism, the organization no longer has a broadcaster.

With the ceremony on Tuesday, NBC honored what remained of his contract.

The audiences for these long ceremonies, including the Oscars, being in free fall, the historical networks are cautious about opening their wallets and antenna.

Bringing together more than 121,000 artists and presenters, the SAG guild has the reputation of being one of the most reliable announcing ceremonies for designating the performers who will be nominated and then win an Oscar.

Indeed, the actor branch constitutes the most important electorate of the American Academy of Cinema.

The actors who have the support of the members of the SAG at the SAG awards find it logically at the Oscars.
