A new batch of award nominations are here sporting a new face.
The Actor Awards—previously known as the SAG Awards before the Screen Actors Guild voted to change the name in November—announced its slate of nominees for the upcoming March ceremony celebrating the best that TV and film had to offer throughout 2025. This year’s nominations were announced by Abbott Elementary‘s Janelle James as well as Heated Rivalry‘s Connor Storrie.
If the Actor nominations follow a similar pattern to that of Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globe nominations, it is likely that Sinners, One Battle After Another, Hamnet and Marty Supreme—with nods for individual performances from the likes of Jessie Buckley, Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet—will be among the top contenders on the film side of the house.
Meanwhile, on the TV side of the house, the stars of shows such as Adolescence, The Pitt and Severance are likely to dominate the lists. After all, Owen Cooper, Erin Doherty and Stephen Graham—all from Adolescence—as well as Katherine LaNasa and Tramell Tillman all earned awards at the Critics Choice Awards.
