‘One Battle After Another’ & 'Sinners' Among Nominees for 2026 Actor Awards
The awards, recently renamed by overseeing acting unions the Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA, will be held on March 1 and shown on Netflix.
The Actor Awards Presented by SAG-AFTRA will stream on Netflix March 1st.
Preview:
- The nominations for the 2026 Actor Awards have been announced.
- 'One Battle After Another' leads the film field with seven nods.
- The ceremony will screen on Netflix once more.
Despite the somewhat surprising decision to change the name of the Screen Actors Guild Awards to the clunkier The Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA, everything else about the performer-focused awards is remaining the same.
Including the nomination announcement for the 32nd annual event, which this year was presented by ‘Abbott Elementary’ scene stealer Janelle James and ‘Heated Rivalry’ breakout Connor Storrie.
On the film front, 'One Battle After Another' scored a record seven nominations, with much of its lead cast landing nods, while 'Sinners' and 'Bugonia' are also in contention.
The small screen side of things, meanwhile, includes nominations for the likes of 'The Pitt' and 'The White Lotus'.
