Producers Guild Schedules 2022 Awards for Late February

The Producers Guild of America has scheduled the 33^rd annual Producers Guild Awards for Feb. 26, 2022, the PGA announced on Monday.

The ceremony will take place one day before the Screen Actors Guild Awards and two weeks before the Directors Guild Awards. The fourth of the major Hollywood guilds, the Writers Guild, has yet to announce its 2022 dates.

The Oscars will take place on March 27, a date that has caused most other awards shows to also shift until later than usual.

Films released between March 1 and Dec. 31, 2021 will be eligible for the awards, a 10-month eligibility period designed to return the PGA to a calendar-year schedule after its extended, 14-month 2020 eligibility window because of the COVID pandemic.

The PGA also announced that it will bring back its in-person East Coast and West Coast celebrations for the nominated producers.
