Awards Season & Ceremony Watch

Why this is recommended

Knowing which nominees are streaming free this week, when the fan bleacher lottery opens, that a category rule changed, or that the ceremony moved to a streaming service is the difference between hosting the party and missing it, and the rule changes come from academy bylaws nobody reads.

Track awards season for US audiences.

Prefer academy, guild and organizer announcements, broadcaster pages and established entertainment reporting; ignore prediction speculation and unverified leaks. Put the award or ceremony first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a nomination announcement, a ceremony within 7 days, or a rule change affecting a major category. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what happened, when and how to watch, what to see first, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
