Reshuffling in the rankings

The Actor Awards 2026 ceremony, a significant barometer of industry sentiment ahead of the Oscars, brought unexpected outcomes that could define the final stretch of the awards season. The highlight of the evening was the awarding of the prize for Best Ensemble to the creators of the film "Sinners". This production, which tells the story of twin brothers during the Jim Crow era, defeated the favored drama "Una batalla tras otra" (Battle after Battle). This victory is particularly significant because actors constitute the largest voting bloc within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, making the Actor Awards result a direct harbinger of Oscar success. The Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) have been presented since 1995 and are the only honors in Hollywood where artists themselves evaluate the work of their peers.In the individual categories, the biggest excitement was stirred by the success of Michael B. Jordan, who in the race for the title of Best Actor defeated, among others, Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet. Jordan, in a moving speech, thanked his mother for her support at the beginning of his career, which was met with a standing ovation. Meanwhile, Jessie Buckley, awarded for her female lead role, continues her winning streak, becoming the undisputed frontrunner in the Oscar race. An emotional moment of the ceremony was also the posthumous award presented to Catherine O'Hara, which the gathered audience received with great emotion. „Mom, thank you for driving me back and forth. Thank you for making me feel seen.” — Michael B. Jordan The red carpet was dominated by a "vintage glamour" aesthetic and classic elegance. Emma Stone, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Demi Moore attracted the attention of photographers with their outfits, with the media particularly widely commenting on Moore's original style. An interesting social note was the presence of Timothée Chalamet, who, instead of attending with his partner Kylie Jenner, came to the event accompanied by his mother, Nicole Flender. Commentators note that this year's edition was exceptionally dynamic and "almost fun," which rarely happens during formal film award ceremonies. 2 tyg. — separate the Actor Awards ceremony from the Oscars Experts emphasize that these results are a severe blow to the campaigns promoting other major productions that were previously considered sure winners.
