ET spoke to BH90210 star Gabrielle Carteris -- who serves as the president of SAG-AFTRA -- last month, and she talked about why the SAG Awards are so special for actors in the industry.
"Now, I've been around for a long time, but this is peer-to-peer, and to be recognized by your fellow actor, I don't think there's any higher thing to be able to receive that," she said. "It's such a great acknowledgment. I think it's wonderful."
With the SAG Awards, the nominations and the eventual winners are chosen and voted on by fellow SAG members, meaning it truly is actors recognizing one another for their work.
"The vibe is really different at the [SAG Awards] show as a result of that," Carteris said. "Because everybody's there for each other and they've been, you know, part of the process."
