The 2026 Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, have announced their nominations across film and television categories. The ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, March 1, 2026, in Los Angeles and will stream live on Netflix. "One Battle After Another" leads film nominations with seven nods, while "The Studio" is the top-nominated television series with five nominations.
Ceremony Details
The 2026 Actor Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, March 1, 2026, in Los Angeles, at the Shrine Auditorium. The event will stream live on Netflix, beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. For audiences in Australia, the ceremony will commence around 12:00 PM AEDT on March 2.
Nominations for the awards, presented by SAG-AFTRA, were announced live on Wednesday by Janelle James and Connor Storrie. Actor Harrison Ford is scheduled to receive the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award during the ceremony. A host for the event has not yet been announced.
The awards are determined by votes from over 160,000 members of the SAG-AFTRA actor union. They are frequently considered an indicator for the Academy Awards, as actors constitute the largest voting bloc within the Motion Picture Academy. Historically, the ensemble award, often seen as a proxy for Best Picture, has aligned with the Academy Awards in 15 out of 30 years.
