Actor Awards 2026: See which nominees are taking home a win
By Dan Heching, CNN
(CNN) — Now, it’s time for the Actors.
The show formerly known as the SAG Awards is set to take place on Sunday, and it will be the last major stop for many nominees before the Oscars on March 15. The Actor Awards are voted on by members of the Screen Actors Guild, which this year placed Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” ahead of the pack with seven nominations total.
“Sinners” from director Ryan Coogler scored five nods, with individual recognition for recent BAFTA winner Wunmi Mosaku, along with Michael B. Jordan – who pulled double duty playing twins – and newcomer Miles Caton. The acclaimed vampire-period hybrid film is also nominated for its ensemble as a whole, as well as for best stunt ensemble.
On the television side, Apple TV’s awards darling “The Studio” is the nomination leader with five nominations, including for series star and creator Seth Rogen along with Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz (aka Sal Saperstein) and the late, great Catherine O’Hara.
“The White Lotus” and “Adolescence” follow close behind, with four nominations apiece.
The Actor Awards will also bestow a lifetime achievement award on “Indiana Jones” and “Shrinking” star Harrison Ford during the telecast. The event is being hosted by Kristen Bell, and will stream live on Netflix.
