Awards Season 2026: Producers Guild Awards (PGA), and Actor Award Winners

We are getting to the sharp end of the 2026 awards season, my loves. Over this weekend, two major guilds have handed out their awards, which are definitely cementing a couple of films and performers as this year's Oscar winners in my mind. 

So, as they say in Mulan, let's get down to business!

PRODUCERS GUILD AWARDS (PGA)

The 37th Producers Guild Awards (PGA) were handed out on Saturday 28th February. The film winners are:

Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures: One Battle After Another

Outstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Pictures: My Mom Jayne 

Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures: KPop Demon Hunters

I don't think, at this stage in proceedings, One Battle After Another's win is going to surprise anyone. Maybe the win for KPop Demon Hunters over Zootopia 2 might be considered a surprise, but honestly I'm not that sure. It's been an absolute cultural juggernaut since it debuted, and it's pretty much guaranteed for some Oscars love in two weeks' time (it's almost definitely going to win Best Original Song). 

If you're wondering, My Mom Jayne is a documentary by Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actress Mariska Hargitay about her mother, the iconic Jayne Mansfield (who tragically died when Mariska was only three years old).

ACTOR AWARDS

The 32nd Actors Awards were held last night (Sunday 1st March) in a ceremony which streamed live on Netflix, hosted by Kristen Bell for the third time. 

Here are the film winners:

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture

Sinners

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

Michael B. Jordan (Sinners)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

Jessie Buckley (Hamnet)

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Sean Penn (One Battle After Another)

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role

Amy Madigan (Weapons)

Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture

Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning

Well, now, this is interesting. Apart from Jessie Buckley, not what I expected to see from SAG at all. That said, last year, Timothée Chalamet won the Best Actor award for A Complete Unknown, throwing a bit of a curveball - although the Oscar ended up going to Adrien Brody. I'd say the momentum is still in Chalamet's corner but who can say? Academy voting is still open, however, closing on Thurday (5th March) so will these results sway those still on the fence? The supporting acting categories are still wide open, which might make for some interesting results come Oscar night. 

Ryan Coogler becomes the first director to direct two separate Best Cast-winning ensembles (Black Panther took the top prize in 2019) and Harrison Ford received the Life Achievement Award. 

Congratulations to all winners!

So where does that leave us? The only other major award I'll be covering before the 98th Academy Awards will be the Razzies, which will be handed out on Saturday 14th March.
