The 32nd annual Actor Awards unfolded Sunday night in Los Angeles with major wins for film and television favorites, setting the tone for the upcoming awards season. Hosted in a lively ceremony, the event — formerly known as the SAG Awards — spotlighted standout performances across motion pictures and TV.
Topping the night in film was Sinners, a period vampire drama directed by Ryan Coogler. The film took home the highest honor for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, signaling strong momentum as it heads into the final stretch before the Academy Awards. Its star, Michael B. Jordan, also earned the award for Best Male Actor in a Leading Role for his dual turn in the movie.
Television honors were shared among fan-favorite series. The Pitt won Best Drama Ensemble, while The Studio secured Best Comedy Ensemble. The night also saw memorable individual achievements: Jessie Buckley received Best Female Actor for her role in Hamnet, Sean Penn was named Best Supporting Actor for One Battle After Another, and Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for her work in Weapons.
A poignant moment came when the late Catherine O’Hara was recognized for her contribution to The Studio, with Seth Rogen accepting the award on her behalf. The ceremony also celebrated Hollywood legacy, presenting Harrison Ford with the Life Achievement Award in recognition of his decades-long impact on film.
With its mix of surprise wins and crowd-pleasing favorites, the Actor Awards continue to influence Oscars buzz. Sinners now stands as a major contender ahead of the prestigious Academy Awards later this month.
