The 2023/2024 film awards calendar will be updated throughout the year as new dates for film’s biggest and best events, festivals, nominations and awards are announced. [2024/2025 Calendar here]
This year’s major film festivals will continue with Cannes May 16-27, then head to Venice from August 30 to September 9, Telluride from August 30 to September 4, Toronto from September 7-17, New York from September 29 to October 16 and AFI from October 25-29.
The Golden Globes came back but their late in the season return meant losing a valuable Sunday show to Critics’ Choice, who wasted no time in scooping it up. As a result, the 2023 Golden Globes were held on Tuesday, January 10 to an all-time low of 6.3M viewers. They’ll aim for a comeback on January 7, 2024 as CBS has picked them up this season. Critics’ Choice has staked January 14, 2024 for their 29th annual awards.
The SAG Awards lost their 25-year broadcast partner in TNT/TBS when Discovery’s buyout of Warner Bros (who owns TNT and TBS) meant ditching the awards show, leaving it in limbo as well. That is, until Netflix swooped in at the last minute to provide streaming for their show on their YouTube channel as a part of a long-term relationship that will see the streamer fully produce the live show and air it on Netflix beginning this season as The SAG Awards enters its 30th year, on February 24.
Academy Awards nominations will be announced January 23 and the 96th Oscars will be held on March 10, 2024.
