National Executive Director & Chief
Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland calls
it a natural and powerful next step. "This
evolution strengthens the clarity of who we
are and what we celebrate — the artistry,
excellence and unity of performers. The
statuette has always been called The Actor,
so it's only fitting that our show, created
by and for actors, now shares that name.
It reflects our union's deep connection to
the craft we honor and our commitment to
showcasing that talent to a global audience
on Netflix."
While the new name reflects a new
evolved identity, the legacy title of Screen
Actors Guild Awards will continue to
appear on FYC materials throughout the
Nominating Committee voting period.
Join us on the big night — Sunday,
March 1, 2026 — when the Actor Awards
streams globally on Netflix through a
multi-year partnership with the platform.
Mark your calendars and get voting
details with our helpful FAQs that follow.
WHO CHOOSES THIS
YEAR'S NOMINEES?
Each year, two committees of 2,500 union
members in good standing are formed:
one to determine film nominees and
one to determine television nominees.

veryone's favorite awards show
returns to Netflix, inviting viewers
around the world to "The Actors'
Party." The 2025 ceremony united
performers, union members and first
responders from the Los Angeles wildfires,
drawing the shows' highest ratings since
moving to the streaming platform.
The newly minted name, The Actor
Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA,
celebrates the union, community, craft and
collaboration of performers. SAG-AFTRA
