If you just called them the SAG Awards, you are not alone. Even Kristen Bell, back as host for the third time and now the face of this rebrand by default, has acknowledged there have been plenty of slip-ups. Everyone keeps reaching for the old name first, then catching themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Screen Actors Guild Awards were officially renamed the Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA, aligning the show\u2019s title with its trophy and emphasizing its unique pitch: actors voting on actors. Noble. Logical. And apparently impossible to say without muscle memory dragging everyone back.<br \/>The Actor\u2019s Red Carpet pre-show streams live at 7 p.m. ET on Netflix. The main ceremony follows at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>The Dress Code Nobody Saw Coming<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For the first time in the show\u2019s history, tonight comes with an <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.actorawards.org\/media\/news\/releases\/32nd-annual-actor-awards-and-elle-announce-exclusive-partnership\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:official red carpet dress code;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">official red carpet dress code<\/a>: Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the \u201920s and \u201930s. People don\u2019t watch awards shows for fashion themes. They watch for two reasons. Validation and revenge. The dress code just gives them a third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When there are rules, breaking them becomes a statement. Following them becomes a competition. And the theme is a cheat code for the nostalgia Hollywood sells best. Art Deco, old-school silhouettes, everyone cosplaying as a legend, even if the show itself is still trying to convince the room what to call it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, host venue for the 32nd Actor Awards, March 1, 2026.

This is the last major precursor before the Oscars. A final poll of the people whose votes actually decide Oscar night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s <em>One Battle After Another<\/em> leads tonight\u2019s film nominations with seven, after wins at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Saturday\u2019s Producers Guild Awards. It is the kind of film that racks up praise across the circuit until it starts to feel inevitable. The moment when voters begin congratulating themselves for being the kind of people who vote for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then there is <em>Sinners<\/em> with five nominations and enough heat to make the night interesting. If <em>One Battle After Another<\/em> wins big, the industry gets the comfort of stability. If <em>Sinners<\/em> pulls an upset, the Oscars race stops feeling settled and starts feeling alive. The ensemble prize is where that verdict lands. It is not just a trophy. It is the room declaring what kind of year it wants to be.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another) and Michael B.

One win can become an Oscars storyline before the night is over.<br \/>The supporting categories are built to start arguments.

She does not roast. If anyone is getting roasted, it\u2019s her. She wants it light, goofy, and welcoming. She has also confirmed she will be singing.
