The Actor Awards 2026, previously known as the SAG Awards, will celebrate its 32nd edition this Sunday, March 1, at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Organized by the SAG-AFTRA union in the United States, these awards honor the best lead and supporting performances, as well as the most outstanding ensembles in film and television each year. The event is a highlight in the awards season, showcasing the top talent in the industry.

This year marks a significant change for the awards as the organizers have officially rebranded the ceremony to the Actor Awards. This decision seeks to align the event's naming with its iconic trophy, referred to as The Actor. This shift represents a broader movement within the industry to evolve and modernize traditional award nomenclature, reflecting inclusivity and relevance in today's entertainment landscape.

In terms of nominations, this year's frontrunner is once again the film "Batalla tras otra," which has received seven nominations, including Best Ensemble, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Following closely is "Pecadores" with five nominations, while films like "Frankenstein," "Hamnet," and "Marty Supremo" also feature on the list, indicating a competitive year for cinematic talent. The growing prestige of the Actor Awards could have implications for future awards, shaping the narrative for the coming Academy Awards and other significant recognitions in the industry.
