Both events will be held at the Dolby Theatre, continuing the venue’s long-standing association with Hollywood’s biggest night. The ceremonies will also air live at 7:00pm ET (4:00pm PT).

Along with announcing the dates, the Academy also shared key timelines for the 2027 awards cycle. Voting for nominations will open at 9:00am PT on December 7, 2026, and close on December 11 at 5:00pm PT. The shortlisted nominees are set to be announced on December 15, 2026.

The announcement signals a shift in scheduling, with both ceremonies set slightly later than the traditional late-February to early-March window. The change is expected to impact the broader awards calendar which is often closely aligned with the Oscars' timeline.
