Actor Awards 2026 Nominations: Cynthia Erivo, Gwyneth Paltrow and More Snubs & Surprises
The curtain is slowly rising on the Actor Awards.
After all, nominations for the award show—formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards—were announced Jan. 7 with the help of Abbott Elementary‘s Janelle James and Heated Rivalry breakout Connor Storrie.
Indeed, with the nominations for the March 1 show honoring acting performances coming on the heels of the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, it’s no surprise that Sinners and One Battle After Another led the pack for films, with each earning five nominations and seven nominations, respectively. The latter also made history, becoming the most-nominated movie ever at the ceremony.
Meanwhile, The Studio made its mark on the small screen with seven nods. And Adolescence earned five. But some unexpected projects are making their way to the Actors Awards. (See all the nominations here.)
Song Sung Blue may have earned mixed reviews from critics, but Kate Hudson‘s performance as Claire Sardina hit all the right notes with SAG-AFTRA voters. After all, she earned a Female Actor in a Leading Role nomination, her first nod at the award show since 2010.
