The 24th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be presented entirely by women.

The organizers of the SAGs - one of Holloywood's biggest award shows and usually a strong pre-Oscars indicator - made the announcement on Wednesday.

The tribute comes at a time when the entertainment industry has been roiled by a sexual misconduct scandal as well as the struggle for gender equality in front of and behind the camera.

Women will present all 13 of the SAG awards at the January 21 dinner in Los Angeles honoring the best of film and television, in a first for the organization, which represents some 160,000 actors.

'We are acknowledging the year of the woman,' Kathy Connell, the executive producer of the ceremony, told Reuters.

These award ceremonies are for the women and gays anyway.

Will the “presenters” all be wearing nun habits? I doubt it. I am sure there will be a lot of cleavage on display.

[Mercat]

Pretty much.

But what about the Film Actors Guild (FAG)?

[Trillian]

I don’t think anyone is watching these awards anymore.

[dfwgator]

Yep who cares about these celebrity circle jerks, where all they do is bash Republicans (even the liberal ones).

[RooRoobird20]

Nobody watches the SAG awards, this will ensure that their already pitiful ratings get cut in half.

We need to rename this awards show: The SAGgy Boobs Awards, starring Susan Sarandon, (the SAGgiest of them all).

Nobody watches the SAG awards, this will ensure that their already pitiful ratings get cut in half.

Then blame the low-ratings on sexism.

[EdnaMode]

It truly is. I’m not watching a minute of these awards.
