Producers Guild Sets 2026 Awards Dates for February 28

The 2026 film awards season is taking shape, with major ceremonies announcing their schedules and some introducing significant changes. The 98th Academy Awards will be held on March 15, 2026, introducing a new 'Achievement in Casting' category and for the first time setting formal guidelines for AI in films, requiring scrutiny of human creative input. The 37th Producers Guild Awards will take place on February 28, 2026, with an eligibility window from January 1 to December 31, 2025, and deadlines for various categories outlined. The PGA Awards continue to be a strong predictor for the Oscars, although not every PGA winner goes on to win at the Academy Awards. The 32nd Screen Actors Guild Awards will stream live on Netflix on March 1, 2026, with performances aired in 2025 eligible for consideration. These updates reflect the evolving landscape of film honors, with a focus on transparency, diversity, and adapting to technological advancements.
