The Actor Awards \
The 2026 award season is in its final stretch. Taking center stage this week are the 2026 Actor Awards, formally known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The Actor Awards celebrate "outstanding motion picture and television performances from the previous calendar year," and "are the only top industry honors where actors vote on actors, selected entirely by SAG-AFTRA members, which boasts over 118,000 eligible voters," according to organizers.
The annual ceremony is an important bellwether for the upcoming Academy Awards on March 15, since actors comprise the largest voting body in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. There's often carryover between acting categories: Last year, Oscars and SAG matched four out of five nominees in best actor, best actress and supporting actor, as well as three out of five in supporting actress.
Leading the nominations this year with a record seven nods is Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed action dramedy "One Battle After Another"; followed by "Sinners," which received five nods; and "Hamnet" and "Marty Supreme," which nabbed three each.
"One Battle" is in the running for best ensemble (SAG's equivalent of the Oscars' best picture) alongside "Sinners," "Hamnet," "Marty Supreme" and "Frankenstein."
