As pandemic awards shows go, none have been as disastrous as last weeks Golden Globes . Despite co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehlers best efforts, the 78th annual ceremony was torpedoed by technical glitches, various Zoom-related blunders and the controversy surrounding the lack of diversity among its voting body.

And while ratings for most coronavirus-era awards shows have been on a steady decline, only 6.9 million viewers tuned in to this years Globes making it the least-watched ceremony since the 2008 show, which was held as a press conference after the fallout of the writers strike.

So, in hopes of avoiding a similar fate, the upcoming Screen Actors Guild Awards , postponed to April 4 after multiple delays, will be entirely pre-taped and span only one hour.

Were looking at trying to do a unique award ceremony in an hour and leave people saying, which they very rarely do [with an awards show], Man, I wish we had more, executive producers Todd Milliner told Variety in an interview published on Wednesday.

This years SAG Awards will proceed sans host and even a physical set, featuring instead a mixture of scripted comedy segments and the ceremonys hallmark I Am An Actor speeches, which will all be shot and edited prior to the broadcast.
