“For the reason that present began over 30 years in the past, our iconic statuette has all the time been known as The Actor, and easily evolving the present’s title to align with the award itself made apparent sense,” they mentioned. “We needed to offer clearer recognition when it comes to what the present is about for our home and international audiences — we honor actors in movie and tv. Laser-focusing the title on these two issues turned the clearest and most easy path for this new chapter of the present.”
They added, “The present’s title is now The Actor Awards introduced by SAG-AFTRA, however the basis stays the identical: it’s actors honoring actors. The statuette has all the time been known as The Actor, and we’re merely aligning the present’s title with the title of the award itself and the union behind it.”
The 2026 Actor Awards can be held on March 1, 2026.
