The Actor Awards

SAG-AFTRA Renames the SAG Awards to The Actor Awards

A big change is coming to one of Hollywood’s major honors. Beginning with the 2026 ceremony, the long-running SAG Awards will now be called:

✨ The Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA ✨

According to SAG-AFTRA leadership, the new name is inspired by the iconic statuette — The Actor — and is meant to reinforce the celebration of performance over organization branding.

The awards will still spotlight outstanding performances in film and television and remain a key event in awards season, including its continued distribution via streaming platforms.

SAG-AFTRA notes that the rebrand “opens a new chapter,” helping the event better align with a global, modern audience while staying true to its core mission: honoring actors.
