According to CNN.com, The SAG Awards are experiencing a multiyear decline in viewership. The SG Awards aren’t one of the most prestigious award ceremony like say, The Oscars or The Academy Awards, but the SAGs are still vital to the film industry. The SAG Awards are where most up-and-coming get their start in receiving awards.

The SAG Awards need a revamp as it pertains to how the show promotes itself, and as well the overall entertainment factor of the show. If they want to engage with the new generation of viewership, the SAGs will have to engage with the new generation to see what interests them, as it pertains to entertainment.
