AceShowbiz - The 2026 Actor Awards ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, hosted by Kristen Bell, concluded on March 1, but for many attendees, the celebration was far from over. The after-parties kicked off with energy and style, as nominees, winners, and guests gathered to revel in the night’s successes and showcase their fashion.

The Actor Awards, which are voted on by SAG-AFTRA union members, recognized outstanding performances across film and television. Among the biggest winners were the ensemble of Sinners, the cast of The Pitt, and the team behind The Studio. Michael B. Jordan was a standout winner for his role in Sinners, while Noah Wyle and the ensemble of The Pitt also took home honors. A particularly poignant moment came when Catherine O’Hara was awarded posthumously for her work on The Studio, with Seth Rogen accepting the award on her behalf and delivering a heartfelt speech.

Two highly competitive categories were the Supporting Actor awards. For Female Actor in a Supporting Role, the award went to Amy Madigan for her performance in Weapons. She triumphed over nominees including Odessa A’zion from Marty Supreme, Ariana Grande for Wicked: For Good, Wunmi Mosaku of Sinners, and Teyana Taylor from One Battle After Another.

On the male side, Sean Penn won Supporting Actor for his role in One Battle After Another. He was selected over fellow nominees Miles Caton (Sinners), Benicio Del Toro (also from One Battle After Another), Jacob Elordi for Frankenstein, and Paul Mescal in Hamnet.

The event also celebrated a landmark moment in acting with the presentation of the 2025 SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award to Harrison Ford. This award is the highest honor bestowed by the union, recognizing an actor who embodies the finest ideals of the profession. Reflecting on his more than six decades in the spotlight, Ford humbly acknowledged the honor, joking about receiving a lifetime achievement award halfway through his career. His speech was filled with warmth and self-deprecating humor, highlighting the respect he commands among his peers.

While some attendees left with trophies, everyone was a winner on the red carpet. The night’s fashions were a highlight, with stars like Kate Hudson and Damson Idris impressing in high-end designs from Valentino and Prada, respectively. Hudson notably changed from her cream gown to a sleek silver ensemble for the after-party, maintaining her glamorous presence throughout the evening.

The after-party, hosted by Netflix at Milk Studios in Los Angeles, was a hotspot for celebration and striking photo opportunities. The cast of The Diplomat enjoyed the festivities, with Keri Russell and Ato Essandoh seen celebrating her win. Meanwhile, Michael B. Jordan and Yerin Ha, stars of Sinners and Bridgerton season four respectively, were captured sharing a vibrant moment together.

Odessa A’zion and Kevin O’Leary from Marty Supreme kept the positive energy flowing, while Ali Larter and Kate Hudson epitomized timeless elegance. The trio of Odessa A’zion, Damson Idris, and Jenna Ortega were also spotted enjoying the night, marking their rising trajectories in the industry.

Other notable appearances included Adam Brody and Rose Byrne, who brought infectious smiles to the event, and Aimee Lou Wood from The White Lotus, who stunned in a custom Versace gown. Noah Wyle was accompanied by his wife and fellow The Pitt star, Sara Wells, as they celebrated the show’s success.

Sarah Pidgeon, star of The Love Story, was seen relaxing after the long night, heels in hand, epitomizing the blend of glamour and comfort. Michelle Monaghan, another The White Lotus alumna, took time to rest amid the lively party atmosphere.

Damson Idris kept the momentum going in his Prada outfit, while Parker Posey captivated attention with a flowing pink gown, earning nods of approval instead of the usual shout of "Piper no." The night even showcased a lighter side of Hollywood, with William Stanford Davis and Lisa Ann Walter proving that teachers know how to celebrate in style.

Patrick Ball from The Pitt brought laughter to the occasion, underscoring the joyful mood of the evening. Laverne Cox demonstrated that black is eternally chic, donning a stunning dress that required no orange embellishments. Meanwhile, the cast members of The Bear and Marty Supreme — Zora Casebere, Lionel Boyce, and Tyler, The Creator — were seen socializing and enjoying the celebrations together.

The 2026 Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, continues to be a pivotal event for the entertainment industry, honoring the best in acting while providing a glamorous stage for stars to shine.
