Awards ballots will be mailed on January 26. The entire active membership of the Guild across the country will vote on all acting categories. Ballots must be returned to Integrity Voting Systems by Friday, February 20, where results will be tallied and sealed until they are opened by the presenters at the 10th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® ceremonies on February 22.
