Academy of Motion Picture Arts announces dates for Oscars 2027, 2028

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the date for the next Oscar ceremonies in a statement released on Wednesday. The Academy confirmed that the 99th Oscars will take place on March 14, 2027, followed by the landmark 100th ceremony on March 5, 2028.

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.
