Joey King (“A Family Affair,” “We Were The Lucky Ones”) and Cooper Koch (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” “They/Them”) have been tapped to announce the nominees for the 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards this Wednesday, Jan. 8. Netflix’s YouTube channel will carry the announcement beginning at 10:30 a.m. ET / 7:30 a.m. PT.
SAG Awards committee members Jason George and Elizabeth McLaughlin will kick things off with nominations for outstanding action performances in a stunt ensemble. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher will then give a speech and introduce King and Koch.
King received a 2020 SAG Award nomination for her role in Hulu’s true-crime series “The Act,” in the best female actor in a TV movie or miniseries category for playing Gypsy Rose Blanchard. She was also named an ambassador for that year’s 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Koch was a Golden Globe nominee this year in the best performance by a male actor in a limited series, anthology series or a motion picture made for television, for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.”
“Nobody Wants This” star Kristen Bell is set to host the kudocast, while actress and activist Jane Fonda has been tapped to receive the Life Achievement Award, SAG-AFTRA’s highest honor.
The 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, produced by Silent House Productions in partnership with SAG-AFTRA, streams live globally on Netflix this Sunday, Feb. 23, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT from the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall.
SAG Awards‘ Jon Brockett returns as executive producer, along with Silent House Productions’ Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco and Linda Gierahn.
