The 2026 Actor Awards, known as the SAG Awards before this year’s swanky rebranding, kicked off in Los Angeles tonight—but whatever you may call them, the event always serves as the final pre-cursor to the Oscars in two weeks. Hosted by Kristen Bell and streamed live on Netflix, the Actor Awards are the last chance for stars to shore up their hopes heading into the Academy Awards. The evening also recognizes achievements in television, with actors from fan-favorite series like Hacks, Severance, The White Lotus, and Adolescence all up for awards. The late Catherine O’Hara is nominated for The Studio, and is due to be honored along with the likes of Diane Keaton, Gene Hackman, and Robert Redford during an “In Memoriam” segment.
For the first time in its history, the Screen Actors Guild’s ceremony will introduce an official dress code: “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the ’20s and ’30s,” inviting attendees to reinterpret classic ideas of glamour for the red carpet. If the last weekend’s BAFTAs in London were any indication, expect lots of dramatic silhouettes, polished tailoring, and awards sparkle from the likes of Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor, Emma Stone, Timothée Chalamet, Paul Mescal, and Ariana Grande.
