On January 7, The Actor Awards officially announced their nominations for this year’s award ceremony via Netflix. The Actor Awards, formerly known as SAG Awards, are presented by SAG-AFTRA. The nominees have been revealed for categories under the Movies and Television divisions.

The SAG-AFTRA changed the name of the SAG Awards to The Actor Awards to simply align the show’s name with the award. The reason is specified on their official website in the following manner:

“Since the show started over 30 years ago, our iconic statuette has always been called The Actor®, and simply evolving the show’s name to align with the award itself made obvious sense. We wanted to provide clearer recognition in terms of what the show is about for our domestic and global audiences – we honor actors in film and television.”

Movies like Frankenstein, Sinners, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and more movies are nominated across multiple categories of The Actor Awards. One Battle After Another bagged most nominations for The Actor Awards. Shows like Pluribus, The Diplomat, Severance, and more have been nominated in different categories.

The Actor Awards winners will be revealed on March 1, and the ceremony will stream live on Netflix.
