Global pandemic, be damned. The upcoming awards season is soldiering on in unprecedented times -- but between the Oscars, Globes and a number of other ceremonies, it is shaping up to look different than any awards season we've seen before.
This year has seen movie theaters close their doors due to the coronavirus -- with release dates pushed indefinitely and film festivals scrapping plans or moving online -- prompting awards bodies to postpone their respective shows and adjust eligibility rules amid continued uncertainty.
Below, ET has your handy awards season calendar to keep you up to date as we learn more about what's to come for the Oscars, Golden Globes, GRAMMYs, BAFTA Awards and more.

"This change from the previously announced date of Feb. 14 acknowledges the impact of the global pandemic," BAFTA explained, "and accommodates an extended eligibility period."
Indie Spirit Awards
The Film Independent Spirit Awards traditionally take place the day before the Oscars -- so when the Academy redated its show, so did Film Independent. The 2021 Indie Spirit Awards are set for April 24, 2021.
"We will recognize films that were released between January 1, 2020 and February 28, 2021 in acknowledgement of the unique challenges the world of cinema, and the world as a whole, is currently experiencing," Film Independent said in a statement.
The Oscars
