    One Battle After Another leads the nominations for the Actor Awards

    The hit action thriller film has earned a record-breaking seven nominations in total, including individual nods for Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro.


    DiCaprio is among the nominees for the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role gong. However, he'll face stiff competition from Timothee Chalamet, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan and Jesse Plemons for the award.

    Elsewhere, Chase is competing with Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson, and Emma Stone for the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role gong.

    Meanwhile, Sinners - the hit horror film written and directed by Ryan Coogler - has earned the second-most nominations of any film, with five in total.

    Michael B. Jordan, Miles Caton, and Wunmi Mosaku have all been nominated for individual awards. However, Hailee Steinfeld - who played Michael's on-screen love interest in the movie - has been overlooked for a nomination.

    By contrast, Frankenstein, Hamnet and Marty Supreme have all received three nominations each, including nods for the coveted Best Cast accolade.

    Meanwhile, Hollywood icon Harrison Ford - who starred in the Indiana Jones and Star Wars film franchises - is set to receive this year's Life Achievement Award.

    The list of nominees was announced by Abbott Elementary star Janelle James and Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie.

    The awards ceremony will air on Netflix on March 1, and the upcoming event will be the first under the revised name of Actor Awards, having previously been known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

    The event organisers previously explained the decision to change the name of the awards.

    They said: "We wanted to provide clearer recognition in terms of what the show is about for our domestic and global audiences - we honour actors in film and television. Laser-focusing the name on those two things became the clearest and most straightforward path for this new chapter of the show."
