The 32nd Actor Awards, formerly the Screen Actors Guild Awards, will be held Sunday as a final pre-Oscars indicator, with the ceremony streamed live on Netflix. "One Battle After Another," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, leads with seven nominations and is favored to win best ensemble, though Ryan Coogler’s "Sinners" could present an upset. Kristen Bell is hosting the awards. The Actor Awards are closely watched because actors make up the largest portion of the Academy, and their choices often align with the Oscars. Several individual acting categories, including best male actor, best female actor and both supporting actor categories, are considered unpredictable. Timothée Chalamet could win best male actor for the second year in a row.
