TNT and TBS have unveiled an extensive digital and social media slate to enhance the networks' live simulcast of the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards today, 29 January.


The Turner channels will show two SAG Awards red carpet live streaming pre-shows: the newly expanded People, EW and TNT's SAG Awards Red Carpet Live webcasts, and a new interactive pre-show on Facebook Live, presented by TBS and Refinery29.

To help spread the word and build excitement for the SAG Awards, Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Underground, True Blood) is set to serve as this year's SAG Awards Social Media Ambassador. Plus, comedian Matt Bellassai (host of To Be Honest and headliner of the Drunk and Alone stand-up comedy tour) will give fans an inside look at the awards as the official correspondent for Instant, People's recently launched video platform. The SAG Awards will also entice fans this year with three special camera elements: a Thank-You Cam, 360 Red Carpet Fashion Cam and an Actor POV Cam.
