Say hello to Al Pacino's little trophy. The nine-time Oscar-nominated actor is getting SAG-AFTRA's Life Achievement Award, Deadline reported on Thursday, Oct. 15.
Per Variety, the "Scarface" star will collect the union's top tribute at the Actor Awards on Feb. 28, 2027, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Yahoo reports the ceremony streams live on Netflix.
What they said
Pacino told Deadline he has "always felt at home with a script and my fellow actors," adding that he "wondered and wandered" for much of his life.
SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin was in full fan mode. In a statement, reported by WFTV, he said he has spent his life in awe of "the force of nature that is Al Pacino."
Not just about the movies
The honor also recognizes humanitarian work. US News reports the guild pointed to Pacino's charitable efforts on disaster relief and on fighting hunger and poverty.
The award dates to 1962, per WFTV, so Pacino joins a very long line of honorees.
The ceremony is more than four months away, so keep that February date circled.
