The "Actor Awards" Rebrand Explained

2026 marks the first year under the "Actor Awards" rebrand, a name change that followed the guild's partnership with Netflix. SAG-AFTRA explained that since the trophy has always been called The Actor, evolving the show's name to match it was a natural move. The rebrand also serves a global audience, as "Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA" travels more cleanly internationally than an acronym that requires unpacking.
