2021 Entertainment Awards Show Guide: When, Where To Watch
The entertainment industry is navigating unchartered territory in these unprecedented times, given the global impact of the coronavirus pandemic. In spite of it all, the awards season will press ahead. Why? As the late Ethel Merman observed in 1953, “There’s no business like show business, and I tell you it’s so. … Let’s go on with the show.”
Groups that hand out awards are rethinking the entire operation: postponing ceremonies and broadcast dates, restructuring eligibility requirements and making other changes.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which holds the Oscars annually, started the trend last year when it pushed back the 93rd Academy Awards ceremony to April 25. Since then, other awards shows followed. But with so many of them to keep an eye on, it can get a bit confusing. That’s where we come in.
Below, we have your complete guide to this year’s awards shows. Let the count down begin, and good luck predicting the winners!
