PGA Awards Announces 2027 and 2028 Ceremony Dates, Reveals Key Timeline

It’s now the Producers Guild of America‘s turn to set its dates for its next two awards ceremonies.

The guild will hold the 38th and 39th annual Producers Guild Awards on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2027, and Saturday, Feb. 19, 2028, respectively — the former will take place in the midst of final Oscar voting to determine winners, and the day before The Actor Awards ceremony.

At the most recent ceremony in 2026, held at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, the top prize — the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures — went to Warner Bros.’ politically charged epic “One Battle After Another,” directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who was awarded alongside his fellow producers Sara Murphy and posthumously for Adam Somner. The film went on to win the Academy Award for best picture. An important stop on the awards circuit, every PGA top film winner this decade, beginning in 2020, has gone on to claim the Oscar for best picture. On the television side, top honors went to last year’s top Emmys series darlings — HBO Max’s drama “The Pitt,” Apple TV’s comedy “The Studio” and Netflix’s miniseries “Adolescence.”

The announcement follows the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences setting dates for its next two Oscars ceremonies: Sunday, March 14, 2027, for the 99th Academy Awards, and Sunday, March 5, 2028, for the 100th ceremony, along with SAG-AFTRA’s news that The Actor Awards will take place Feb. 28, 2027, and Feb. 20, 2028.

The Producers Guild of America represents more than 8,400 members across film, television and emerging media. The organization advocates for producers’ interests, including expanded health care benefits, fair compensation structures and increased access to opportunities for underrepresented communities. The PGA Awards recognize excellence across 14 competitive film and TV categories, along with special honors such as the PGA Innovation Award and career achievement prizes.
