The 2026 Actor Awards, formerly the Screen Actors Guild Awards, took place on Sunday, March 1, streaming on Netflix, and served as a significant indicator for the upcoming Oscars. While the ceremony, hosted by Kristen Bell, ran long due to excessive montages and a backstage ping-pong bit, it featured notable moments including surprise wins and heartfelt speeches. Michael B. Jordan's victory for best actor provided a shake-up, while Jessie Buckley, Amy Madigan, and Sean Penn solidified their front-runner status. Harrison Ford, 83, received the life achievement award, delivering a wry and emotional speech. Michael J. Fox made a rare public appearance, and Catherine O'Hara received a posthumous win for best actress in a comedy series, honored by Seth Rogen.
