The Road to Glory: 2026 Actor Awards Nominations Officially Revealed
The 2026 Actor Awards nominations are out! See who made the list and how the SAG-AFTRA rebrand and Netflix streaming are changing the race to the Oscars.
Hollywood's most prestigious union-led honors just leveled up. The 2026 Actor Awards nominations were announced today, signaling a high-stakes shift in the awards season landscape as the ceremony formerly known as the SAG Awards fully embraces its new identity.
2026 Actor Awards Nominations: A New Chapter for Hollywood
On January 7, 2026, rising star Connor Storrie from the Heated Rivalry and Abbott Elementary's Janelle James took to the stage to unveil the contenders for the year's best performances. With the Oscar nominations looming on Jan. 22, these nods provide the most accurate forecast for who will eventually walk away with a gold statue.
The crossover between the SAG-AFTRA voting body and the Academy is massive. Last year, winners like Zoe Saldaña and Kieran Culkin used their momentum here to secure Oscar wins. However, it’s not always a perfect mirror; Timothée Chalamet and Demi Moore found themselves winning the Actor Award but falling short at the Academy Awards to Adrien Brody and Mikey Madison.
Harrison Ford to Receive Lifetime Honor
Beyond the competitive categories, the industry will celebrate Harrison Ford, who has been named this year’s Life Achievement Award recipient. The 32nd annual ceremony will stream live exclusively on Netflix on March 1, reaching a global audience in real-time.
