With two weeks until the Academy Awards, the 32nd Actor Awards on Sunday will be the final pre-Oscar showdown for "One Battle After Another” and "Sinners.” Formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the newly renamed Actors Guild Awards are one of the most closely watched precursors. Actors make up the largest portion of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and their choices at the Actor Awards often coincide.The ceremony, presented by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, will air live on Netflix starting at 8 p.m. EST. Kristen Bell is the host. Paul Thomas Anderson’s "One Battle After Another” is the heavy favorite, having won the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and Saturday’s Producers Guild Awards. The film arrives with a record seven nominations and is seen as the most likely winner of the night’s main award, best ensemble.The other four nominees for best ensemble are: “Sinners,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme” and “Frankenstein.” If Ryan Coogler’s "Sinners” defeats "One Battle After Another” on Sunday night, it would add a late dose of unpredictability to the Oscars.But many of the categories already appear to be up for grabs. Timothee Chalamet, who last year won the Screen Actors Guild award for best male actor for "A Complete Unknown,” was seen as the favorite for his performance in "Marty Supreme.” But surprise BAFTA winner Robert Aramayo showed how difficult it is to pin down the category. The other nominees are: Michael B. Jordan ("Sinners”), Leonardo DiCaprio ("One Battle After Another”), Ethan Hawke ("Blue Moon”) and Jesse Plemons ("Bugonia”).If Chalamet wins, he would be the first to win the award in consecutive years.Jessie Buckley is the favorite in the best actress category. The rest of the nominees are: Chase Infiniti ("One Battle After Another”), Rose Byrne ("If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”), Kate Hudson ("Song Sung Blue”) and Emma Stone ("Bugonia”).Support awards are especially difficult to predict. The nominees for best supporting actress are: Teyana Taylor ("One Battle After Another”), Wunmi Mosaku ("Sinners”), Ariana Grande ("Wicked: For Good”), Amy Madigan ("Weapons”) and Odessa A’zion ("Marty Supreme”). The male nominees are: Sean Penn ("Battle After Battle”), Benicio Del Toro ("Battle After Battle”), Miles Caton ("Sinners”), Jacob Elordi ("Frankenstein”) and Paul Mescal ("Hamnet”).On television, Netflix’s limited series "Adolescent,” medical drama "The Pitt” and Apple’s Hollywood satire "The Studio” are poised to repeat their Emmy success.Catherine O’Hara, who died suddenly in January, could win best actress in a comedy series for "The Studio.” Harrison Ford will receive the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, presented to him by Woody Harrelson.
