While today’s changes include the opening and closing of some poll windows for the PGA, one thing that remains the same is the previously announced date for the awards ceremony itself, still planned for March 24, 2021. Details about the virtual event are still forthcoming. The PGA Awards date changes are primarily focused on the categories of Documentary Motion Pictures, Theatrical Motion Pictures, Animated Motion Pictures, TV Series/Specials, Televised/Streamed Motion Pictures. The close of nomination polls originally planned for March 11 has been moved up to March 7, with nominations announced on March 8 instead of March 12. In light of those adjustments, the opening of final polls for those categories has been shifted from March 12 to March 8.
Unrelated to the above adjustments, the announcement of nominees for Documentary Feature Film has been moved up from February 11 to February 2. Details about eligibility dates for the Guild’s Innovation Award, as well as the annual PGA East and West Coast Celebrations of 2021 Producers Guild Awards nominees and producing teams will be announced at a later date.
