Awards Season Calendar 2021: Updates on Oscars, GRAMMYs and More

Global pandemic, be damned. The upcoming awards season is soldiering on amid unprecedented times — though the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, GRAMMYs and other ceremonies are shaping up to look different than any awards shows we’ve seen before.

This year has seen movie theaters around the world close their doors due to the coronavirus pandemic — with studios repeatedly pushing release dates and film festivals scrapping plans or moving online — prompting awards bodies to postpone their respective telecasts and adjust eligibility rules to account for continued uncertainty.

Below, ET has your handy awards season calendar to keep you up to date as we learn more about what’s to come for the Oscars, Golden Globes, GRAMMYs, BAFTA Awards and more.

The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards — originally scheduled for the first Sunday in January — has been pushed two months, with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association snatching up the date previously vacated by the Oscars.

Nominations: To be announced Feb. 3, 2021

The ceremony:

When: Feb. 28, 2021 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on NBC
Where: The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California
Hosts: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

Less than a month before the show was set to take place, the 63rd annual GRAMMY Awards were postponed due from Jan. 31 to March 14 due to COVID-19 concerns. The new date is the same day as the SAG Awards.

The 27th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards first moved from January to March, but when that date was later claimed by the rescheduled GRAMMY Awards, SAG-AFTRA delayed its ceremony into April. The telecast will be re-imagined as “a one-hour special that highlights and expands on our signature I am an Actor opening and honors the outstanding performances of the past year.”
