Important Dates in Awards On the Horizon

DGA Awards (Directors Guild of America) -- Saturday, January 28th.
SAG Awards (Screen Actors Guild) -- Sunday, January 29th (televised on TNT)
WGA Awards (Writers Guild of America) -- Saturday, February 4th.

These three, along with the PGA (Producers Guild of America), as mentioned in a previous post, are pretty good indicators of what's going to win the big ones.

Also we have:

BAFTAs (Essentially, the British Oscars) -- Sunday, February 19th (televised on BBC)

This one is not as accurate of an indicator. But they're fun! They usually go against the grain in a lot of the stuff they give out. For example two years ago Scarlett Johannson and Bill Murray won Best Actress and Best Actor at BAFTA while SJ was not even nominated for an Oscar and BM got snubbed for the win. Also this is probably the best recognition The Constant Gardener is going to get, as it has more nominations than anything else, and will likely win a few.

Oscars:
1/31 -- Nominations
3/5 -- Ceremony (ABC)
