The 2026 Actor Awards, the ceremony formerly known as the SAG Awards after the Screen Actors Guild voted to change the name 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 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
What makes this ceremony unique in the awards season calendar is simple: Each nominee and winner is chosen exclusively by other actors.
No reviews, no industry panels, just peers recognizing peers.
A winner was confirmed well before the evening began. Harrison Ford receives 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.
