The Screen Actors Guild Awards, the marquee awards ceremony honouring actors, is getting a new name.

Known colloquially as the SAG Awards, the awards show will now be dubbed the Actor Awards presented by Sag-Aftra, the labour union representing US film, television and radio actors.

"Since the beginning, our statue has been called 'The Actor' and we're a show that's entirely about actors, so this new name is a perfect next step in the show's evolution," the show's executive producer said on Friday.

The rebrand comes ahead of the 32nd edition of the star-studded ceremony, which is set for 1 March 2026.

The award show's executive producer Jon Brockett told the BBC that the name change - which was announced at a board meeting on Friday - gives viewers in more than 190 countries "an immediate understanding of who we are and what we're about" - a show about actors honouring actors.
