The 2026 SAG Awards<\/a> may now be known as the 2026 Actor Awards but their significance remains unchanged, with more than 120,000 SAG-AFTRA performers eligible to vote and influence the upcoming Oscar\u00a0<\/a>race. \u00a0The ceremony now airs on Netflix<\/a>, and it is that shift towards a more global audience that has played a role in rebranding away from the union and towards international recognition.<\/p>\n SAG-AFTRA President and Lord of the Rings\u00a0star Sean Astin is expected to give remarks before Heated Rivalry breakout star Connor Storrie announces the nominations alongside Abbott Elementary’<\/a>s Janelle James on Wednesday, January 7 at 1pm ET\/12pm PT; the stunt nominees will be named 10 minutes earlier by Jason George from\u00a0Grey’s Anatomy\u00a0<\/a>and Elizabeth McLaughlin from Grand Hotel.<\/p>\n Connor Storrie will help announce the 2026 nominees<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n The film categories of the Actor Awards have been a bellwether for the rest of the awards season for decades; only four films in 30 years have won the Best Picture award at the Oscars without earning a nomination from the SAG voters. That makes this category incredibly important and a reliable indicator of where the vibes lie for the acting branch.<\/p>\n This year, keep an eye out for how many nods One Battle After Another gets, as it remains the early frontrunner with an A-list cast. It may also make history, as awards prognosticators predict seven nods for the film, making it the most nominated movie in the history of SAG; Shakespeare in Love (1998), Chicago\u00a0(2002), Doubt\u00a0(2008), The Banshees of Inisherin\u00a0(2022), Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) and Wicked\u00a0(2024) all received five.<\/p>\n In the TV categories, The Pitt<\/a>, Severance, The Studio,\u00a0and Stranger Things are all expected to make appearances; Severance’s\u00a0long-awaited second season finally dropped in 2025 making this a comeback narrative while the conclusion of Stranger Things\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>means this is the final year of eligibility for many of those actors who have grown up in the guild.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 2026 SAG Awards may now be known as the 2026 Actor Awards but their significance remains unchanged, with more than 120,000 SAG-AFTRA performers eligible to vote and influence the upcoming Oscar\u00a0race. \u00a0The ceremony now airs on Netflix, and it is that shift towards a more global audience that has played a role in rebranding […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2225709,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25173],"tags":[25060,413199,349271,28442],"class_list":["post-2225708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artists","tag-awards","tag-sag-awards","tag-screen-actors-guild-awards","tag-tv-and-film"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SAGs-Actor-Awards-2026-nominees-Full-list-announced-by-Heated.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2225708"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2225710,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225708\/revisions\/2225710"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2225709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2225708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2225708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2225708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Connor](\"https:\/\/images.hellomagazine.com\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/7035586e47cb-gettyimages-2251610060.jpg\")
