The final season of Ozark tops the television category with four nominations.

Here’s all you need to know about the SAG Awards 2023, including the nominations and how to stream them on Netflix’s YouTube channel.

The ceremony will be broadcast live on Netflix’s YouTube channel globally for the first time. Netflix and the SAG Awards have entered a multi-year partnership which will see the platform also live-stream the event in 2024.

The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) national executive director, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, said: “We are thrilled to embark on this exciting new partnership with Netflix and we look forward to expanding the global audience for our show. As the only televised awards programme exclusively honouring the performances of actors whose work is admired by millions of fans, the SAG Awards are a unique and cherished part of the entertainment universe.”
