The Screen Actors Guild Awards have been officially renamed the Actor Awards, starting with the 2026 edition. This change was initiated by SAG-AFTRA, which has been the driving force behind the awards show for quite some time. This change has been inspired by the show's identity as an awards show created by actors for actors, which has been the case for quite some time. This change also comes with the iconic award statuette, which has been named 'The Actor.'
