Step onto the red carpet with us as we bring you the 2026 Actor Awards, a glamorous affair celebrating the best in the acting world. But before we dive into the glitz and glamour, let's uncover the story behind the name change from the SAG Awards. It's all about embracing a new era of Hollywood, where the spotlight shines on the actors themselves. Now, let's meet the stars who brought their A-game to the red carpet. Odessa A'zion, the talented actress from 'Marty Supreme', chose a jumpsuit over a dress, proving that comfort and style can go hand in hand. Her Armani Privé ensemble was a hit, and she wasn't alone. Sheryl Lee Ralph, from 'Abbott Elementary', exuded confidence in her Saiid Kobeisy gown, ready to ace the dress code. But the real magic happened when the nominees took to the stage. The casts of 'Frankenstein', 'Hamnet', 'Marty Supreme', 'One Battle After Another', and 'Sinners' celebrated their nominations for Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Stars like Taylor, Jacob Elordi, Emma Stone, Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael B. Jordan received individual honors, making it a night to remember. On the small screen, Selena Gomez and her 'Only Murders in the Building' castmates competed against the ensembles from 'Abbott Elementary', 'The Bear', 'The Studio', and 'Hacks' for best Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Meanwhile, the casts of 'The Diplomat', 'Landman', 'The Pitt', 'Severance', and 'The White Lotus' hoped to hear their shows named in the Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series category. But first, let's admire the elegance on the red carpet. Because, yes, they all understood the Hollywood glamour assignment. So, get ready to watch the 2026 Actor Awards live on Netflix on Sunday, March 1, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, and join the conversation! But here's where it gets controversial...
