SAG Awards Shifts To April, Away From Grammys Date; Nominations Still Set For February 4

The 2021 awards-season revolving door has swung again. The SAG Awards now will be handed out on Sunday, April 4, three weeks after the March 14 date announced during the summer. The 27th annual awards show originally was set for January 24 but has changed twice — first due to the Covid-19 pandemic and now to move off the new date set for the rescheduled Grammy Awards.

SAG-AFTRA went public last week with its displeasure over the Grammys shifting its 63rd annual show to the March 14 date that the SAG Awards had set back in June, saying: “We announced the same date for the SAG Awards last July with the intent to give the greatest possible scheduling consideration for other awards shows. We expect the same consideration from sister organizations throughout the industry.”
