Best moments from SAG Actor Awards, from Harrison Ford to Michael J. Fox

From Harrison Ford's career honor to a rare Michael J. Fox sighting, these were the biggest moments at the Screen Actors Guild's 2026 Actor Awards.

The most unpredictable Oscar race in years is finally coming into focus.

At the Actor Awards on Sunday, March 1, Jessie Buckley (“Hamnet”), Amy Madigan ("Weapons") and Sean Penn (“One Battle After Another”) solidified their front-runner status in their respective categories, while a surprise win from Michael B. Jordan (“Sinners”) offered a welcome shake-up to the ultra-competitive best actor lineup.

The Actor Awards, newly renamed from the Screen Actors Guild Awards, are often one of the most reliable bellwethers for future Oscar glory. (The trophies are voted on by actors, who make up the largest swath of the Academy.)

The ceremony, hosted by Kristen Bell, ran well over its two-hour runtime in part because of incessant movie montages and a lame recurring bit featuring celebrity attendees playing ping-pong backstage.

But there were also some bright spots, with genuinely surprised speeches from winners Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”) and Michelle Williams (“Dying for Sex”), and an absurdly hilarious gag by “Hacks” co-stars Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs, who sarcastically claimed to be cut from “Hamnet.”
