Why did Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira miss the SAG Awards?

The awards season is in full swing and this year’s hot property is Rome by Alfonso Cuarón. Red carpets have been dressed in Mexican pride with actresses Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira as representatives of their country and accompanied by the famous director.

Perhaps this is why their absence from the SAG Awards was so noticeable – and we know why they didn't attend.

Being an award given to actors by actors, the work of Alfonso Cuarón does not fall under any of the categories celebrated at this ceremony… but what happened with Yalitza and Marina?

The answer is simple, this award is organized by the Union of American Actors and since neither of them belong to this association, their performances could not be considered for any awards
