The Atlanta EGOTS Exhibit will offer free admission to the general public. Attendees will be encouraged to take pictures with the awards and post to their personal social media accounts using the hashtag #sagawards. The location of the exhibit is appropriate because Atlanta is also home to Turner, the parent company of the SAG Awards broadcast partners. The 25th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be nationally simulcast live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2019 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
The exhibit will feature five awards with Georgia-based recipients, including:
- The 2018 Southeast Chapter Governors Emmy Award, presented to Ric Reitz in tandem with Melissa Goodman, Wilbur Fitzgerald, and Shay Griffin for outstanding achievement and dedication to broadcast television.
- The 1985 Grammy for Best Classical Album, awarded to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus for “Berlioz: Requiem.”
- The 1961 Oscar for Best Original Song, awarded to Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini for “Moon River,” which appeared in the motion picture Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
- The 2007 Regional Theatre Tony Award, presented to Alliance Theatre.
- The SAG Awards Actor statuette, emblematic of the award-winning cast of Stranger Things and the importance of Georgia as a filming location.
“The local Atlanta membership of SAG-AFTRA is thrilled to salute the SAG Awards Silver Anniversary through this exhibit,” says Ric Reitz, President of SAG-AFTRA Atlanta. “Our city has grown into one of the largest production centers in America, which is part of what makes it the perfect place for this event.”
