Harrison Ford on Thursday was named as the recipient of the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, the guild’s highest honor recognizing career and humanitarian accomplishments. The award will be bestowed in March during the 32nd annual The Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards.
The ceremony is set for Sunday, March 1, 2026 at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall. It will stream live on Netflix.
Ford, whose six-decade career includes iconic roles from Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise to Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark franchise, becomes the 61st recipient of the honor, which goes to an actor who exemplifies the “finest ideals of the acting profession.”
The SAG-AFTRA honor adds to accolades that include an Oscar Best Actor nomination in 1986 for Witness, and lifetime honors the Critics Choice Career Achievement Award (2024), the Golden Globes Cecil B. DeMille Award (2002) and AFI Life Achievement Award (2000).
“Harrison Ford is a singular presence in American life; an actor whose iconic characters have shaped world culture,” SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin said today. “His career has been endlessly exciting, always returning to his love of acting. We are honored to celebrate a legend whose impact on our craft is indelible.”
Added Ford: “I am deeply honored to be chosen as this year’s recipient of the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award. To be acknowledged by my fellow actors means a great deal to me. I’ve spent most of my life on film sets, working alongside incredible actors and crews, and I’ve always felt grateful to be part of this community.”
