  "textContent": "Michael B Jordan, Jessie Buckley and the late Catherine O’Hara were among the standout winners at the Sag awards 2026 on Sunday night in Los Angeles, as the ceremony introduced its newly rebranded title, the Actor awards.\n\nFormerly known as the Screen Actors Guild awards, the event is voted on by more than 160,000 actors. Organisers said the name change was meant to give “clearer recognition” of the show’s focus.\n\nJordan won best male actor in a leading role for his dual performance as twins in the acclaimed vampire thriller _Sinners_ , beating heavily tipped favourite Timothée Chalamet. In his speech, Jordan thanked director and longtime collaborator Ryan Coogler and acknowledged the “love and support” from fellow actors who watched him grow up in the industry. The weekend also saw him pick up the NAACP Image Award for entertainer and actor of the year.\n\nThe film’s cast, including Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku, also secured the big screen ensemble prize. Accepting on behalf of the group, Lindo said the project was “anointed” and described the team as fortunate to be part of the journey.\n\nBuckley continued her strong awards season run, following BAFTA and Golden Globe victories with the best female actor in a leading role prize for Chloé Zhao’s semi-fictionalised period drama _Hamnet_. She beat competition from Emma Stone and Rose Byrne and told the audience she had been “categorically changed” by many people in the room.\n\nSean Penn was named best supporting male actor for his performance in _One Battle After Another_ , adding to his BAFTA win last weekend, although he was not present to accept the award.\n\nIn one of the night’s surprises, Amy Madigan won supporting female actor for her role in _Weapons_ , defeating favourite Teyana Taylor. “It’s such an honour to be here. I’ve been doing this for a long time,” she said, adding that she felt nervous and overwhelmed.\n\nOn the television side, Apple’s industry comedy _The Studio_  continued its awards momentum after major wins at the Emmys and Golden Globes. The series collected three trophies, including the comedy ensemble award against previous winners _The Bear_  and _Only Murders in the Building_.\n\nCo-creator Seth Rogen also won best male actor in a comedy series for the show, while the late Catherine O’Hara received a rare posthumous honour for her performance. Accepting to a standing ovation, Rogen called it a “very sad honour” and praised O’Hara’s generosity and talent.\n\nThe drama ensemble prize went to breakout medical drama _The Pitt_ , which beat _The White Lotus_  and _Severance_. Star Noah Wyle said he had “never been more proud of a group of people”. Wyle also won best male actor in a drama series and used his speech to highlight the importance of labour unions.\n\nNetflix hit _Adolescence_  added to its strong awards run, with Owen Cooper winning best male actor in a limited series. At 16, he became the youngest winner in the category. The actor, recently seen in _Wuthering Heights_ , was not in attendance.\n\nMichelle Williams won best female actor in a limited series for her role in _Dying for Sex_ , marking her second Actor award after her 2020 win for _Fosse/Verdon_. She beat co-star Erin Doherty, who had already claimed Emmy and Golden Globe victories for the role.\n\nIn another surprise, Keri Russell secured her first win for best female actor in a drama series for _The Diplomat_ , overcoming competition from Rhea Seehorn and _The White Lotus_  stars Parker Posey and Aimee Lou Wood.\n\nHarrison Ford received the life achievement award, presented by Woody Harrelson, who described him as “a true renaissance man”. On stage, Ford joked the honour was for “being alive” before delivering an emotional speech in which he called himself “a lucky guy”.\n\nThe stunt ensemble prizes went to _Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning_  for film and _The Last of Us_  for television.\n\nHosted by _Nobody Wants This_  actor Kristen Bell, the ceremony streamed live on Netflix. Bell opened the show by saying the world could use “some levity”.\n\nWhile the ceremony itself was largely light on political commentary, Mosaku drew attention on the red carpet by wearing an “ICE out” pin and calling the agency “atrocious”.\n\nLast year’s acting winners included Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña for film, and Anna Sawai, Jessica Gunning, Jean Smart and Colin Farrell for television.\n\nThis year’s Oscars, where _Sinners_  leads the nominations, are set for 15 March.\n\nThe post Sag awards 2026: surprise wins and emotional Catherine O’Hara honour dominate night appeared first on HUM News.",
