The 2026 SAG Awards honored film and television performances from 2025.
Awards ceremonies are often named for the year in which they take place, while their eligibility period refers to work released or broadcast during the preceding year. That distinction explains why the 2026 ceremony recognized performances from 2025.
The ceremony took place on March 1, 2026. Its film nominees included Sinners, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, Frankenstein, and Marty Supreme, while its television nominees represented series and limited programs from the 2025 season.
This timing also explains why the event is sometimes described as the 32nd Actor Awards rather than simply as a 2026 film or television award. The year identifies the ceremony, while 2025 identifies the body of work being judged.
