As the last big event leading up to the Academy Awards, the 2026 Actor Awards proved there are no guarantees when it comes to awards season.
Formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the ceremony has historically been a faithful forecast for which thespians will triumph come Oscars’ night, which will take place March 15.
Although Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” was notably snubbed at the 2026 Golden Globes, the film came out on top at the Actor Awards by scoring the outstanding cast award. Michael B. Jordan also won the best actor award for his leading role as twins Smoke and Stack in the horror film, after missing out at the Globes and Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.
The TV winners at the Actor Awards closely resembled the 2025 Emmy winners, with shows like “The Pitt” and “The Studio” receiving honors for best ensemble in a drama series and best ensemble in a comedy series, respectively. “The Pitt” leading man Noah Wyle also won best actor in a drama series, and Seth Rogen won best actor in a comedy series.
In addition, Rogan delivered a touching tribute to his “The Studio” co-star Catherine O’Hara, who died in January, as he accepted the best actress in a comedy series nod on her behalf.
Jessie Buckley picked up another honor for her soul-wrenching performance as Agnes, William Shakespeare’s wife, in “Hamnet,” which has already earned her Globe, BAFTA and Critics’ Choice Movie Awards this season.
As for Jordan, come Oscar night, he’ll be competing against Golden Globe winners Timothée Chalamet (“Marty Supreme”) and Wagner Moura (“The Secret Agent”) as well as Academy Award veterans Leonardo DiCaprio (“One Battle After Another”) and Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”).
