The Actor Awards, organized by SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild Awards), are celebrating outstanding performances in 15 TV and film categories at their annual ceremony held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Hosted by Kristen Bell for the second time, this year’s event features a special lifetime achievement award for Harrison Ford.
