Awards ballots will be mailed on February 11, 2003 to the entire active membership of the Guild. Approximately 98,000 members throughout the country will vote on all acting categories. Ballots must be returned to Integrity Voting Systems by Friday, March 7, 2003, where results will be tallied and sealed until they are opened by the presenters at the 9th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremonies on March 9, 2003. | |
