Cord-cutters rejoice: Normally, watching an awards show involves subscribing to a live TV service (or remembering which of your email addresses you haven’t already used for a free trial).
But on Saturday, for the first time, Netflix will be streaming the annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, potentially bringing them to a much wider audience.
The 15 awards, which are voted on by actors and other performers who belong to the SAG-AFTRA union, honor the best film and television performances from the past year.
They can be a bellwether for the Oscars, happening this year on March 10.
(Since 1996, 83 of the 112 stars and films that won Oscars for best picture or acting first won a SAG Award.)
