Moments after Sinners nabbed the top prize of the night at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards on Sunday—winning outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture—the crowd kept the festivities going as the ceremony shifted into after-party mode. And thankfully, they didn’t have to travel too far either. Guests and newly-minted winners strolled to another space within the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall for the official late-night bash, presented by Elle, which was a nod to the glamour-soaked golden years of Hollywood.
A beaming Michael B. Jordan moseyed into the party as a double winner, having also claimed the best lead male actor award over predicted favorite Timothée Chalamet. With his statuette in hand, he was immediately swarmed by well-wishers as he made his way to the engraving station to have the accolade personalized.
“I’m still in shock,” Jordan told Vogue. “To win this award as a longtime SAG-AFTRA member and to be recognized by actors that know what you go through on a daily basis and what it takes to actually make a movie—I feel seen. And that means so much to me. I’ll never forget this really cool moment.”
Jordan’s Sinners co-stars Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, and Miles Caton soon joined him, showering him in hugs as they also patiently waited to pick up their hardware. “Now I’m going to bust a little move and dance with my cast to celebrate,” Jordan added with a smile. And that’s exactly what they did—swaying to Whitney Houston’s How Will I Know before sauntering towards plush couches next to a buffet station filled with fried chicken sliders and Wagyu smash burgers.
Across the room, the cast of The Pitt parked themselves in a corner banquette clutching onto their brand-new trophies. Noah Wyle celebrated his two wins—for lead drama actor and best ensemble in a drama series—by clinking glasses with his wife Sara, while Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, and Fiona Dourif huddled together in awe of their 12 lbs, 16-inch-tall solid bronze statuettes. At one point, Dourif even jokingly used a pair of them as makeshift dumbbells and pumped her arms up and down.
Patrick Ball, who plays charismatic young father Dr. Frank Langdon, was on cloud nine. The Pitt marks his first major onscreen role—and it has been nothing short of life-changing. “Eighteen months ago, I was working four jobs and serving coffee in Brooklyn, and now I have an incredibly beautiful and heavy statue with my name on it,” he said, looking dapper in a Thom Browne ensemble. “This really is a dream. I was grinding out there and it was hard, but you have to trust the timing in your life and do not give up.”
Other partygoers included nominee Jean Smart, socializing with a friend over a plate of sliders, and Kate Hudson and Michelle Williams, who had won for her performance in Dying for Sex. Meanwhile, Heated Rivalry’s breakout star Connor Storrie made the rounds in the softly-lit space, which evoked a cinematic elegance of a bygone-era with all of its palm trees, roses, and enormous crystal chandeliers. As servers passed out zucchini fritters, prosciutto-wrapped dates, and Hollywood-themed cocktails, Marty Supreme nominee Odessa A’zion could be spotted sharing a laugh with Jack O’Connell. Veteran actress Amy Madigan—who won best female actor in a supporting role for her witchy turn as Aunt Gladys in the horror film Weapons—approached Harrison Ford and formally introduced herself. Nearby, Sarah Paulson, who had a drink in one hand and her heels in another, giggled with Rose Byrne and The Studio’s Kathryn Hahn while cradling her award for best ensemble in a comedy series.
