Awards season is filled with high-profile ceremonies, but the Actor Awards have carved out a unique space by celebrating performances through the eyes of fellow actors. As one of the most respected honors in Hollywood, the show continues to hold a strong influence over the industry’s biggest accolades.

With the rise of streaming platforms reshaping how audiences watch live events, the Actor Awards have steadily evolved to stay in step with changing viewer habits. That evolution is now taking a significant step forward, as the ceremony continues its partnership with Netflix to reach a global audience.

The announcement signals a new chapter for how audiences experience one of Hollywood’s most actor-focused nights, with Netflix set to stream the upcoming ceremonies worldwide.

SAG-AFTRA has officially confirmed that the 33rd annual Actor Awards will stream live on Netflix on Sunday, February 28, 2027, at 8 p.m. ET. The organization also revealed that the 34th ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, February 20, 2028, further solidifying the platform as the exclusive home for the show.

Formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Actor Awards remain a key predictor for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Academy Awards. With over 160,000 members forming the voting body, the ceremony continues to be one of the most respected honors in the industry, recognizing outstanding performances across film and television in both individual and ensemble categories.
