Golden Globes set February date for 2021 awards

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA), who put on the annual Golden Globe Awards, has set the date for the 2021 ceremony: February 28. The nominations will be February 3.

The date for the 78th Golden Globes was pushed back from its normal early January date due to the coronavirus pandemic, which also pushed the Academy Awards deep into April. Both the Oscars and the Golden Globes have amended some of their eligibility rules to allow streaming-only content (provided it was intended for theatrical release) and how the group’s 90+ voters can watch the films.

2020/2021 Awards Calendar

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are still scheduled to return as hosts but it is still unknown what format the awards will take, be it in person or virtual.

Here are the key dates and deadlines for the 78th Golden Globe Awards:

Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
