Which TV legend should be the next person to receive the 2025 SAG life achievement award? When we offered a similar poll last year, double Oscar winner Barbra Streisand was the top choice, and then she was indeed selected for this honor on the Screen Actors Guild Awards. We created a separate poll earlier this month about film legends with Meryl Streep receiving the most support over Glenn Close, Shirley MacLaine and Jessica Lange.
The SAG-AFTRA selection committee will likely be announcing their next recipient in the near future. We will offer a separate poll coming up soon about possible TV stars who might receive this award. The 2025 ceremony will be live February 23 streaming on Netflix.
The following living people have already received this award and wouldn’t be chosen again (year referenced is from the ceremony): Joanne Woodward (1986), Robert Redford (1996), Clint Eastwood (2003), Julie Andrews (2007), James Earl Jones (2009), Dick Van Dyke (2013), Rita Moreno (2014), Carol Burnett (2016), Lily Tomlin (2017), Morgan Freeman (2018), Alan Alda (2019), Robert De Niro (2020), Helen Mirren (2022), Sally Field (2023) and Streisand (2024).
All of these choices below are over 60 years old, which seems to be a requirement for the selection committee in prior years. Vote below for your favorite among these 18 choices:
Debbie Allen
Candice Bergen
Bryan Cranston
William Daniels
Tyne Daly
Ted Danson
