TOP TEN LISTS FOR 2025. . . awards season

[Chris Knipp]

JACOB ELORDI ACCEPTING SUPPORTING ACTOR AWARD

Critics Choice Awards announced

The first big Hollywood awards event of the year took place Mon., Jan. 5, 2026 and they were all there, with the spectacular and outlandish outfits of such events. For a rundown of the notable snubs and surprises see Gold Derby. Most noted is Jacob Elordi as the "creature" in Frankenstein beating Paul Mescal, Hamnet; Sean Penn, One Battle After Another; Adam Sandler, Jay Kelly; and Stellan Skarsgård, Sentimental Value. Adolpho Veloso for Train Dreams beat out some higher profile films. With The Secret Agent selected as Best Foreign Film Jafar Panahi's It Was Just an Accident was snubbed. I can't comment on the "Best Comedy" noms and win with only having seen The Phoenician Scheme and Splitsville, not yet having enjoyed The Ballad of Wallis Island, Eternity, Friendship, or The Naked Gun. I guess Wake Up Dead Man may be nominated for next year.

SAG AWARDS (SCREEN ACTORS GUILD) 2026

This time One Battle After Another fell behind and Sinners triumphed, with Michael B. Jordan getting the Best Male Actor award. Sean Penn seems a lock for the Best Supporting Actor title. The awards are now called "The Actors" and no longer "The SAGs".

On Sunday, March 1, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, the 32nd Annual Actor Awards Presented by SAG-AFTRA (the Screen Actors Guild — American Federation of Radio and Television Artists) streamed live on Netflix, and the stars of the year’s biggest films and series gathered at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles to recognize the work of their peers.

The Actor Awards is the only televised awards ceremony that exclusively honors actors in TV and film. Voted on by SAG-AFTRA’s robust and diverse membership of 160,000+ performers, the Actor Awards has the largest voting body on the awards circuit. The show and its statuette, The Actor, are fundamental to the spirit of performers around the globe — this award has been one of the industry’s most prized honors since the debut of the Actor Awards in 1995.
