Catherine O’Hara, Ryan Coogler Make History

It was one history-making moment after another at the 2026 Actor Awards.

During the March 1 ceremony—which was hosted by Kristen Bell at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles—Sinners dominated the film categories while The Studio and The Pitt picked up numerous TV awards. 

Not only did Michael B. Jordan and the entire ensemble cast of Sinners—including Miles Caton, Wunmi Mosaku, Delory Lindo and Hailee Steinfeld—each earn awards during the evening, but the wins also marked a milestone for director Ryan Coogler.

While the Actor Awards, previously known as the SAG Awards, only honor acting and stunt work, Sinners’ wins made Ryan the first director to helm two projects that earned ensemble wins at the award show: The cast of Black Panther, which also featured Michael, previously won in 2018. 

“We’re all anointed to be a part of this incredible journey created by the genius Ryan Coogler,” Delroy said while accepting the ensemble award onstage with the rest of the cast. “We brought our spirits to this endeavor, and to be recognized by you all—thank you doesn’t come anywhere near to encompassing what we feel, the gratitude.”
