Hey, movie buffs and TV fanatics! The 32nd Actor Awards (formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards) took place at the iconic Shrine Auditorium in LA, and it was a night full of unexpected twists and epic performances. Hold onto your seats because Sinners swept the stage, grabbing the award for Best Cast in a Motion Picture!
In a jaw-dropping moment, Michael B. Jordan snagged the award for Male Actor in a Leading Role, outshining favorite Timothée Chalamet, who was up for Marty Supreme. Meanwhile, Jessie Buckley snagged the Female Actor award for her stunning performance in Hamnet.
Amy Madigan and Sean Penn took home awards for their supporting roles in Weapons and One Battle After Another, respectively. This year's Actor Awards happened just as the Oscars voting was heating up, but will it predict the Oscar winners? Sometimes, but not always—out of the last 10 years, only half of the winning casts took home the Oscar for Best Picture. Will Sinners continue its winning streak? Only time will tell!
TV lovers, don’t feel left out! The best ensemble cast awards went to The Pitt for drama and The Studio for comedy. But it wasn’t a great night for everyone—both Frankenstein and Marty Supreme went home empty-handed despite multiple nominations, and The White Lotus struck out with an 0-4 record.
This year marked a new era with the awards rebranded to 'Actor Awards.' Hosted by the hilarious Kristen Bell for the third time, the night kicked off with her singing the original tune, “Stage Name.” Fans at home watched it all unfold live on Netflix.
In a bittersweet highlight, the late Catherine O’Hara, who passed recently, won for her role in The Studio, leaving a legacy of laughs and love. A special tribute during the In Memoriam segment honored legends like Gene Hackman, Diane Keaton, Robert Redford, and more, to the moving tunes of Daryl Hall’s “Everytime You Go Away.”
One of the night’s memorable moments included 20-year-old sensation Miles Caton from Sinners, who wowed everyone performing “This Little Light of Mine” with his cousin Anaysha Figueroa-Cooper and the dynamic DC6 Singers.
Living legend Harrison Ford was celebrated with the prestigious SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, presented by Woody Harrelson—an unforgettable tribute!
