We’re not even halfway there until 2026, but on Tuesday afternoon, three Major Hollywood organizations have revealed the dates for their 2027 and 2028 awards shows.
First it was the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy Awards, around which the rest of the awards industrial complex revolves. Then came the SAG-AFTRA Awards and Actor Awards. Now, the Producers Guild of America has announced that the PGA Awards, which were held in 2026 on Saturday, February 28, will be held on Saturday, February 27 in 2027 and on Saturday, February 19 in 2028.
Notably, the 2027 PGA Awards will be held during the final round of Oscar voting (which will run from February 25 to March 4), raising the possibility that the selection of guild members will influence the selection of Academy members. (The Guild is also the only major awards body other than the Academy to choose its winners via preferential ballot.)
The Producers Guild also announced a number of other key dates related to the 2025-2026 awards season:
