Why SAG Awards Changed Its Name to Actor Awards Moving Forward
Admittedly, Sinners star Wunmi Mosaku was a bit nervous to sink her teeth into awards season while expecting her second child.
"I was kind of scared to do it, but now it feels truly joyous," she told Justin Sylvester on LIVE from E!: Actor Awards 2026 March 1. "Like, who gets to do this? And to have all these pictures looking fabulous. My daughter has pictures of me and my bump in the bathroom mirror."
Of course, the Louis Vuitton-clad star wasn't the only one serving at the Kristen Bell-hosted Actor Awards (formerly known as the SAG Awards) where attendees were tasked with a Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the '20s and '30s dress code.
Female Actor in a Supporting Role nominee Odessa A'zion, for one, was game. As long as she could stick to her fave uniform.
"It’s a jumpsuit, it’s not a dress," the Marty Supreme star stressed to E!. "I don’t like wearing dresses. So, every time I try to not wear a dress, but it kind of looks like a dress because maybe the shorts or something are a little flowy, where it could be like a skirt, everyone is like, 'I love your skirt.' I’m like, 'They’re pants!'"
Either way, her Armani Privé 'fit was a winner.
Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph also went to the head of the proverbial class at the Netflix-streamed ceremony.
"I got the memo," she told E! of her Saiid Kobeisy gown. "And you know something, don’t give me an assignment, because I like to get an A. I’m so happy with my stylist and she just keeps hitting it on the one."

The only show that's voted on by actors for actors, the step-and-repeat outside Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall was set to be a roarin' good time even before the glam dress code was assigned.
Among those celebrating: the casts of Frankeinstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another and Sinners—all nominated in the Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture category, with stars like Taylor, Jacob Elordi, Emma Stone, Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael B. Jordan receiving individual honors. (See all the winners here.)
On the small screen side of the house, Selena Gomez and her Only Murders in the Building castmates will face off against the ensembles from Abbott Elementary, The Bear, The Studio and Hacks for best Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series while the casts of The Diplomat, Landman, The Pitt, Severance and The White Lotus will hope to hear their shows named in the Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series category.
But first they all put on a very elegant show on the red carpet. Because, yes, they all understood the Hollywood glamour assignment. Keep reading to see for yourself.
