Sinners dominates Actors Awards, Michael B. Jordan and Jessie Buckley make Oscar race exciting

At the 2026 Actors Awards, the vampire horror *Sinners* made a significant impact, winning Best Ensemble and Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan. Jordan triumphed over Timothée Chalamet to claim the Best Actor award for his dual role as Mississippi twins Smoke and Stack. The night was filled with surprises, particularly since *Sinners* had already made history with a record 16 Oscar nominations. Although *One Battle After Another* had previously been considered the frontrunner for Best Picture at the Oscars, *Sinners’* recent win has revived its prospects. In the acting categories, Jessie Buckley further solidified her dominance by winning Best Actress for her performance in *Hamnet*, a role that has earned her multiple prestigious awards this season. On the supporting side, Sean Penn and Amy Madigan took home the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress. Harrison Ford was also honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, while Catherine O’Hara received a posthumous award for her performance in *The Studio*. With Oscar voting already underway, the race for Best Picture and acting awards is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in years.
