( CNN ) -- For actress Kyra Sedgwick , it 's the public 's approval that makes it worth being away from her family for six months to tape her critically acclaimed series `` The Closer . '' Kyra Sedgwick and her husband , Kevin Bacon , at the 66th annual Golden Globe Awards this month . But she may be getting more approval from her peers , too . Sedgwick will walk the red carpet again Sunday night at the Screen Actors Guild Awards , where she is nominated for a fourth consecutive year for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series for her role as Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson . She 's also won a Golden Globe for her performance , in 2007 . The TNT series resumes Monday night where it left off in September with what Sedgwick called `` a fantastic five episodes . '' ( TNT is a unit of Time Warner , as is CNN . ) `` I said to the writers , ' I really want a lot of personal stuff for Brenda , ' `` Sedgwick said . `` I feel like there 's some of those personal quiet moments with her alone , is something that I 've been missing as an actor , and I feel like the audience has been missing , too . `` She is such a complicated , fascinating character , and watching her growth and lack of growth is something that is really interesting , '' she said . When CNN asked whether the new episodes might include a wedding for her character , Sedgwick laughed . `` That might very well happen , '' she said . `` That 's pretty insightful of you . I 'm just going to just say that . '' A marriage for Brenda Johnson would be `` a complicated , difficult situation , '' she said , because `` she 's basically married to her work . '' Sedgwick 's job also complicates her real-life marriage to Bacon , since the show is produced in Los Angeles and the couple lives in Connecticut with their two children . That 's where the approval -- whether on the street from fans or at award shows -- has `` been a wonderful phenomenon for me , '' she said . `` On a personal level , that 's really good for me , because I really miss my family when I 'm working on the show six months in L.A. , '' she said . `` As much as I try to get my kids to move to L.A. and my husband , they just would n't have it . `` It 's challenging , and I 'm glad that people are watching , because otherwise it would be kind of hard to go to work , '' Sedgwick said . Sedgwick has moved into an executive producer 's role on the show , which she said she expects to continue for at least two more years . `` I love being with a group where there 's not a power struggle , '' she said . `` I have a lot of say , and I always have . And that feels really good . '' CNN Radio 's Jackie Howard contributed to this report .
