2025-2026 Award Season Calendar

Award season is officially around the corner, with the Gotham Awards kicking things off on the 1st December. We have already had the likes of Cannes in the summer and the fall festival circuit, with Jafar Panahi‘s “It Was Just An Accident” and Chloe Zhao‘s “Hamnet” being the recipients of top prizes so far. As the season progresses we will start to get a clearer picture as to who will be the ones to watch come Oscar night on 15th March.
