2019/2020 Awards Calendar

The 2019/2020 awards calendar will be updated throughout the year as new dates for film’s biggest and best awards are announced.

With the Oscars moved up two weeks, guilds and critics groups will be scrambling for high priority weekends and venues. Film festivals like Sundance (Jan 23 – Feb 2), Santa Barbara (Jan 15 – 25) and Palm Springs (Jan 2 – 13) will suddenly be smashed up against more than they’re used to. The Super Bowl and the Grammys are in the mix, too.

Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy season.

Head on over to the 2020/2021 Awards Calendar
