Just hours after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced dates for the 99th and 100th Oscars ceremonies, the Actor Awards slated its 2027 and 2028 shows to match.
The 33rd Annual Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA will stream live on Netflix on Sunday, Feb. 28, 2027, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, according to the streamer. The 34th Annual Actor Awards, meanwhile, will be held on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2028.
Both Actor Awards ceremonies will take place exactly two weeks ahead of the Academy Awards for their respective years. This keeps with the two-week gap between the SAG-AFTRA awards show and the Academy’s ceremony observed in 2026.
The Producers Guild Awards announced their own dates less than an hour after the Actor Awards, with the 2027 PGA Awards taking place on Saturday, Feb. 27, and the 2028 PGA Awards set for Saturday, Feb. 19. This, too, resembles the awards timeline seen in 2026, with the PGA Awards happening one night before the Actor Awards and just over two weeks before the Oscars.
What the Oscars Means for the Movies

The 2026 Actor Awards predicted all four acting winners who would take the stage at the 98th Academy Awards, with Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor for “Sinners,” Jessie Buckley winning Best Actress for “Hamnet,” Sean Penn winning Best Supporting Actor for “One Battle After Another,” and Amy Madigan winning Best Supporting Actress for “Weapons” at both ceremonies.
The Actor Awards gave “Sinners” the top prize for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, which is historically a less-than-reliable precursor for who will win Best Picture. That award at the Oscars eventually went to Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” which bested “Sinners” at most other ceremonies in the lead-up to the Academy Awards.
The Actor Awards marked a major turning point in the Best Actor race for the 2026 awards season. Going into the show, Timothée Chalamet had won Best Actor at both the Critics’ Choice Awards and the Golden Globes (for the Musical/Comedy division, with Wagner Moura winning for Drama), making him the heavy favorite. After he was toppled by Robert Aramayo for “I Swear” (which wasn’t nominated at this year’s Oscars and is eligible for next year) at the BAFTAs, awards season followers wondered whether Chalamet would solidify a lead at the Actor Awards or lose his frontrunner status altogether. Jordan’s win became a major sign that an Oscar was indeed coming his way.
