The Screen Actors Guild\u2019s 2026 Actor Awards<\/a> were a star-studded affair, but several of Hollywood\u2019s biggest names were missing in action.<\/p>\n The Actor Awards were held Sunday, March 1<\/a>, at Los Angeles\u2019 Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, and hosted by Kristen Bell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s something that feels so special and divine about \u2026\u00a0 [having] the opportunity to be given the stage and entertain in front of a group of entertainers that I admire,\u201d the Nobody Wants This <\/i>actress, 45, told Tudum<\/span><\/a> in a statement last month. \u201cI\u2019m just very grateful that it\u2019s me, because I like entertaining, and I like being goofy, and I like making people smile. So to be given this stage, it feels like an award in and of itself.\u201d<\/p>\n Bell was joined by many of the Actor Awards nominees, including Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Kate Hudson, Teyana Taylor, Odessa A\u2019zion, Michael B. Jordan<\/strong> and more A-listers.

That said, it\u2019s a little weird to be getting a Lifetime Achievement Award at the half-point of my career. It\u2019s a little early, isn\u2019t it? I\u2019m still a working actor.\u201d<\/p>\n Keep scrolling to find out which stars skipped the 2026 Actor Awards<\/a>:<\/p>\n Martin Short, who was recognized in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series category for his Only Murders in the Building <\/i>role but lost to The Studio’s Seth Rogen<\/strong>, was absent while grieving his daughter Katherine<\/strong>\u2019s death<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short.
