The Actor Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast (or Ensemble) in a Motion Picture (formerly Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture) is an award given by the Screen Actors Guild to honor the finest acting achievements in film. It is the final award presented during the ceremony.
Eligibility In order for an individual actor to be eligible for an award as part of the cast, they must be credited with a single-card billing in the movie's main titles, although exceptions can be made at the discretion of the awards committee in cases of "special, unusual, or non-billing".
