The Screen Actors Guild Awards 2017, broadcasted by TNT, is an annual awards show that honors the best performances in film and television, as voted by members of the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). In 2017, this prestigious event took place at the iconic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. With esteemed actors from Hollywood's vast spectrum of talents gracing the event, it was a night filled with glamour, eloquence, and a celebration of a diverse range of performances.

The awards show, known for its informality and intimacy compared to other celebrity award spectacles, stood as a testament to the strength and solidarity within the acting community. It followed the traditional format of previous years' shows, with awards given in various categories for outstanding performances in both film and television. However, the 2017 show had an additional emphasis on union unity and diversity in the face of known industry challenges.

Nominees were spread across different genres and mediums, covering comic sitcoms, intense dramas, thrilling action-adventures, intriguing sci-fi fantasies, and even pensive biographical films.

From leading actors to supporting roles and ensemble casts, the awards mirrored the artistic diversity and dynamism within the acting industry.

Hosted by personality-packed celebs and featuring several vibrant presentations, the show successfully delivered an atmosphere of both rousing celebration and heartfelt tribute. Apart from the award distribution, the show also had segments dedicated to celebrating and respecting lifetime achievements in the acting field. The tributes served as inspiration for emerging artists while acknowledging the contributions and skills of veteran actors.

Adding to the allure of the awards was the famed tradition of having fellow actors as the presenters. This tradition gave the show a distinct feeling of camaraderie and shared respect within the acting community. It felt as though the crowd was one big family, honoring their peers' efforts and dedication, and celebrating their craft. These moments added to the warmth and genuineness that has always been significant to the Screen Actors Guild Awards' identity.

The event also held a dedicated 'In Memoriam' section, honoring the actors who left a void in the world of entertainment that year.
