Leonardo DiCaprio will not attend the 2026 Actor Awards despite a nomination for his role in 'One Battle After Another.' He is committed to shooting Martin Scorsese's upcoming film 'What Happens at Night.' The awards, recently renamed from the Screen Actors Guild Awards, recognize outstanding performances in film and television.
Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role at the 2026 Actor Awards for his work in 'One Battle After Another.' However, the actor will miss the ceremony due to scheduling conflicts with production on Martin Scorsese's 'What Happens at Night.'
The Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, underwent a name change by SAG-AFTRA to reflect a broader focus. This rebranding was detailed in a recent Hollywood Reporter article examining the organization's decision.
'One Battle After Another' has already garnered attention, winning a top prize at the ACE Eddie Awards for editing alongside 'Sinners.' The film's success highlights DiCaprio's continued prominence in awards season, even as he prioritizes new projects with frequent collaborator Scorsese.
No further details on the filming location or timeline for 'What Happens at Night' were provided in the announcements. The Actor Awards ceremony is set for early 2026, continuing the tradition of honoring ensemble casts and individual achievements in the industry.
