Producers Guild Sets PGA Awards Dates for 2027 and 2028

We’re not even halfway through 2026, but on Tuesday afternoon, three major Hollywood organizations revealed the dates of their 2027 and 2028 awards ceremonies.

First up was the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Oscars, around which the rest of the awards-industrial complex revolves. Then came SAG-AFTRA and the Actor Awards. And now, the Producers Guild of America has announced that its PGA Awards ceremony, which was held in 2026 on Saturday, Feb. 28, will take place on Saturday, Feb. 27, in 2027 and on Saturday, Feb. 19, in 2028.

Notably, the 2027 PGA Awards ceremony will take place during the final round of Oscars voting (which will run Feb. 25-March 4), increasing the possibility that the selection of the guild’s members could influence the selection of the Academy’s members. (The guild is also the only major awards body other than the Academy to choose its winners via a preferential ballot.)

The Producers Guild also announced a number of other key dates pertaining to the 2025-2026 awards season:
