The 2026 Actor Awards, the ceremony formerly known as the SAG Awards after the Screen Actors Guild voted in favor of the rebrand in November, are officially underway at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, with Kristen Bell returning as host for the second year in a row.
The show streams live on Netflix starting at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT.
What makes this ceremony different from any other on the awards season calendar is simple: every nominee and every winner is chosen exclusively by other actors.
No critics, no industry panels, just peers recognizing their peers.
A winner was confirmed long before the night began. Harrison Ford will receive 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 keep updating as winners are announced throughout the night.
