History

Historical Context

The first Screen Actors Guild Awards aired on NBC on February 25, 1995, unveiling the Actor statuette and the inaugural comedy-series ensemble prize that set a new industry benchmark. Matthew Perry’s 1995 SAG trophy later fetched $1,000 at a 2022 charity sale, and Warner Bros. now donates a signed pilot script and other items to a June 5, 2024 Beverly Hills auction supporting Massachusetts General Hospital and Healing Appalachia.
