Kristen Bell Returns to Host the 2026 Actor Awards in Los Angeles

The 2026 Actor Awards, previously known as the SAG Awards, are currently underway in a prestigious ceremony held in Los Angeles. This event honours outstanding performances in both film and television productions, with a total of six movie categories and nine TV categories up for grabs. The 32nd edition of the awards is being livestreamed exclusively on Netflix, ensuring global accessibility for fans and industry professionals alike.

Kristen Bell is once again taking on the hosting duties, bringing her signature charm and wit to the stage. In a highlight of the evening, Harrison Ford is set to receive the esteemed SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, recognising his decades of contributions to the entertainment industry.

Top Nominees and Contenders for the 2026 Awards

Leading the nominations this year is the motion picture One Battle After Another, which has secured an impressive seven nods across every film category. Close behind is Sinners with five nominations, while Josh Safdie's ping pong hit Marty Supreme also emerges as a strong contender. Notably, Timothée Chalamet has earned a Best Actor nomination for his electric performance in Marty Supreme, potentially marking his second consecutive win after last year's victory for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.

In the television sector, the Hollywood comedy The Studio dominates with five nominations. Netflix's creepy crime drama Adolescence and Mike White's popular series The White Lotus each follow closely with four nominations apiece, setting the stage for intense competition.
