The Actor Awards 2026, the ceremony formerly known as the SAG Awards after the Screen Actors Guild voted to rebrand in November, is officially underway at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, with Kristen Bell returning as host for the second year in a row.
The show airs live on Netflix starting at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT.
What makes this ceremony unlike any other on the awards calendar is simple: each nominee and each winner is chosen entirely by other actors.
No critics, no industry panels, just peers recognizing peers.
A winner was confirmed well before the evening began. Harrison Ford receives the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award in recognition of his 60-year career and off-screen humanitarian work, an honor previously given to Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Carol Burnett.
Read on for the full list of nominees and stay tuned as winners are announced throughout the evening.
