SAG Awards, Oscars, GRAMMYs and More: Everything You Need to Know About the 2022 Awards Season

As Hollywood and the rest of the world continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, it's time once again to shuffle awards season around, as the powers that be determine the safest way to honor the year's best in film, television, music and more.

Between postponed ceremonies and the dwindling possibility of in-person acceptance speeches, this year is shaping up to be just as confusing as the last -- if not more so! After the last year saw fans joyfully returning to live concerts and movie theaters, many of the major awards shows had planned live shows with in-person audiences. However, with COVID numbers on the rise again, some ceremonies are getting delayed and modified to account for safety protocols.

Below, ET has your handy awards season calendar to keep you up to date as we learn more about what's to come for the Oscars, Golden Globes, GRAMMYs, BAFTA Awards and more.

After a year of controversy over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's membership and nominations process, the Golden Globes looked a bit different this year. The HFPA announced just days ahead of the scheduled ceremony that the Globes -- traditionally, the kickoff moment of awards season -- will be held with no audience and no red carpet. Only "select members and grantees" of the HFPA will be in attendance, under strict COVID protocols.

NBCUniversal previously announced that they would not be airing the ceremony, and the HFPA later clarified that this year's Globes would not be televised or livestreamed. Instead, winners were announced in real time on the Golden Globes website and social media pages.

Big film winners of the night included Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog, which took top honors in Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for Kodi Smit-McPhee, and West Side Story, which won Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actress for Rachel Zegler and Best Supporting Actress for Ariana DeBose.

On the TV side, Succession and Hacks were the top drama and comedy winners, respectively, with lead acting wins for Succession's Jeremy Strong, Pose's Michaela Jae Rodriguez, Hacks' Jean Smart and Ted Lasso's Jason Sudeikis.

The NAACP announced in November that their annual awards show, "recognized as the nation's preeminent multicultural awards show from an African American perspective," will be held in person on Saturday, Feb. 26, and broadcast live on BET.

The 53rd NAACP Image Awards is set to celebrate the outstanding achievements and performances of people of color across more than 80 competitive categories spanning film, television and streaming, music, literature, and podcasts.

"Black artists over the past year have not only showcased our history and uplifted values of progressive change, but have also redefined genres and brought our stories to the screen in so many creative ways," said Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP in a statement. "Now more than ever, we need Black voices to push the envelope, educate, and inspire audiences around the world. We're proud to once again provide a space that both elevates and celebrates these voices through the 53rd NAACP Image Awards."

This year's NAACP Image Awards class is even more of a star-studded list than ever, with nominations for everyone from Megan Thee Stallion to Jonathan Majors, Ariana DeBose, Marsai Martin, Denzel Washington and more. There are also plenty of sweet first-timers (William Jackson Harper earned a double nod for his roles in Love Life and The Underground Railroad) and a few startling omissions. (No love for RuPaul again?)

Winners will be revealed during the two-hour special, hosted by seven-time NAACP Image Awards winner Anthony Anderson, on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 8/7c on BET.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced last May that its 2022 Oscars would be a little later than usual -- just not as late as the 2021 COVID-delayed ceremony.

Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes are teaming up to host this year's ceremony, which is set to take place on Sunday, March 27, 2022 -- a month later than usual, in part to not conflict with coverage of the Winter Olympics.

Following public outcry over their announcement that certain categories would not be announced live during the 2022 telecast, the Academy released a statement to members and nominees, clarifying their plans for the ceremony. Oscars for Documentary (Short Subject), Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Production Design, Short Film (Animated), Short Film (Live Action), and Sound will be presented immediately prior to the 2022 ceremony and "folded seamlessly into the live televised show."

Nominations: Check out the complete list.

Originally scheduled to take place Jan. 31 and hosted by Trevor Noah, the Recording Academy and CBS released a joint statement to ET in early January announcing a postponement due to COVID concerns.

"After careful consideration and analysis with city and state officials, health and safety experts, the artist community and our many partners, the Recording Academy and CBS have postponed the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards show," the statement read. "The health and safety of those in our music community, the live audience, and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to produce our show remains our top priority."

The GRAMMYs were ultimately rescheduled to Sunday, April 3 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and are set to air live on CBS at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET, as well as streaming live and on-demand on Paramount+.

This year, Jon Batiste leads the nominations with 11 nods, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, and H.E.R. each earned eight, and Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo nabbed seven apiece.
