2024 Awards Calendar Is Steady as They Go

With the pandemic in the rear view (at least, as far as Hollywood is concerned when it comes to its day-to-day operations), the 2023 – 2024 Oscar season is back to following the usual calendar template. This year’s Oscars will air live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 10, 2024, just about a year off from Oscars 2023.

The Academy plans to continue to stay away from the Super Bowl (February 11, 2024), while leaving plenty of time for Oscar-show planning after the nominations announcement on January 24, 2024. Academy CEO Bill Kramer is expected to bring back last year’s producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner as well as host Jimmy Kimmel, if he can. Stay tuned.

More from IndieWire

The Academy has returned to both the usual 12-month calendar year and six-city theater eligibility requirements. (Next year brings new eligibility rules, including a theater expansion to an extra week and 10 cities around the country.) One thing we still don’t know about the upcoming awards lineup: whether January’s Golden Globes telecast will return to NBC, which aired the 2023 awards show. Negotiations are underway with the for-profit show’s new owners.

Here’s our (constantly updated) list of awards dates to remember:
