Actor Awards 2026 winners: Full list of winners as Oscars 2026 best actor competition takes surprise turn
Michael B Jordan took the best actor prize for his dual turn in Sinners – ahead of Oscar favourite Timothée Chalamet.

The Oscar race took a surprising turn during last nights Actor Awards in LA, with Michael B Jordan taking the best actor prize for his dual performance in Sinners ahead of Marty Supreme's Timothée Chalamet.
The result means that Chalamet – who had previously been considered the runaway favourite for the Oscar – has now lost at two major award ceremonies in a row after he was beaten to the BAFTA Film Award by I Swear's Robert Aramayo.
Still, with a number of major wins already under his belt, including at both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, Chalamet still has a very good shot at the Oscar. It's certainly a close race.
Other winners at the Actor Awards – which were previously known as the Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) Awards – included Hamnet's Jessie Buckley, who continued her seemingly unstoppable streak of best actress triumphs, while One Battle After Another's Sean Penn built on his BAFTA win with another prize in the best supporting actor category.
Meanwhile, perhaps the closest race of all is best supporting actress, which saw Weapons star Amy Madigan awarded last night for her memorable turn as Aunt Gladys. It looks like being a three way battle between her, One Battle After Another's Teyana Taylor and Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku for the Oscar.
In the TV categories, the headline was an emotional posthumous win for Catherine O'Hara in the best actress – comedy category for her turn in The Studio, while Adolescence breakout Owen Cooper added another win to his long list of accolades.
