Show Key Points
The 32nd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, officially known as The Actor Awards, delivered a night of high-stakes drama and emotional tributes live from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
On March 1, 2026, the acting community gathered to honour its own, with SAG Awards 2026 winners reflecting a seismic shift in the awards season race. Ryan Coogler’s vampire epic Sinners snatched the night’s most prestigious prize, Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, while its lead, Michael B. Jordan, secured the Actor for Best Male Lead.
This ceremony, hosted by Kristen Bell and streamed globally on Netflix, reached a massive U.S. audience, signalling a strong precursor for the upcoming Oscars.
Who Won in the Motion Picture Categories at the SAG Awards 2026?
There were many heavyweights and some surprising upsets in the film races. Michael B. Jordan's performance in Sinners, where he played two roles, ended Leonardo DiCaprio's winning streak and made Jordan the clear favourite for the Academy Awards. Meanwhile, Jessie Buckley’s heart-wrenching turn in Hamnet saw her sweep the Best Female Actor category.
