The 32nd Annual Actor Awards (formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards) took place yesterday, March 1, 2026, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. This ceremony is unique because the winners are chosen by their peers in the SAG-AFTRA union.
It is often seen as a major indicator for the Academy Awards since the actors make up the largest voting bloc of the Academy. The event was streamed live on Netflix and hosted by Kristen Bell, who kept the evening moving through a series of historic wins and emotional tributes.
Late Catherine O’Hara honoured in television category
The television categories provided some of the most emotional moments of the early broadcast. Seth Rogen took home the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his work in The Studio. During his acceptance speech, he honored his co-star, the late Catherine O’Hara, who received a posthumous award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. Rogen spoke about her kindness and her unmatched ability to lead a set with both grace and humor.
In the drama categories, Keri Russell won for her lead role in The Diplomat, beating out a highly competitive field. The night also recognized Michelle Williams, who won for her performance in the limited series Dying for Sex. These wins set the tone for an evening that has focused heavily on veteran performers who have waited years for this specific recognition from their peers.
Anticipation for the film categories
The room is currently waiting for the motion picture winners to be announced. All eyes are on Timothée Chalamet, who is nominated for Marty Supreme. If he wins, he will become the first actor in history to win the Lead Male Actor category in two consecutive years, following his victory last year for A Complete Unknown.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another leads the film nominations with seven nods, making it the film to watch for the Outstanding Cast trophy. Other top contenders include Sinners, Hamnet, and Frankenstein. Earlier in the pre-show, the stunt ensemble award for film was given to the team behind Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, marking a major win for the long-running action franchise.
