Held by the Screen Actors Guild, the Actor Awards are the only major ceremony that honors actors via a jury of their peers. There is a strong correlation between this nominee set and those who go on to be nominated for Academy Awards, with more than 75 percent of Actor Award nominees also receiving an Oscar nomination.

Jordan for his dual-character performance in the musical horror film Sinners
