The 2025 SAG Awards

Where To Watch: With a Netflix subscription
Host: Kristen Bell
The SAG Awards mark one of the last stops of the TV award season and one of the big shows leading into the Oscars for movies. This is when all the actors get together to vote on the year’s best performances in television and film, and it’s typically a good predictor in terms of which performers will take home Academy Awards.
This year, for the first time in a while, the show will have a host and Netflix darling Kristen Bell leads the night. On top of that, her show Nobody Wants This is nominated alongside shows like Shrinking, Abbott Elementary, The Bear and more in the comedy television categories. Meanwhile, dramatic TV is represented by shows like Shōgun, Slow Horses and Bridgerton.
On the film side, A Complete Unknown, Anora, Conclave, Emilia Pérez and Wicked, among others, were recognized.

The biggest night in movies is moving up one week this year, and, like the 2024 ceremony, it will happen one hour earlier than it has in years prior.
The 2025 Oscar nominees are led by Emilia Pérez, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Wicked and Anora, among many others. Overall, it's a solid slate of some of 2024's best movies, and film lovers can tune in on March 2 to see who takes home the coveted golden statues.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Academy of Country Music Awards, Reba McEntire will host for her 18th time. The even will be available with an Amazon Prime subscription, and the monumental night will honor many of the great country artists making an impact today and feature tons of fun performances.
2025 American Music Awards

Where To Watch: CBS or with a Paramount+ subscription that includes a Showtime add-on

After taking the year off in 2024, Variety reported that the American Music Awards will return in May of 2025. This will be the first time the show airs in the spring. The show will honor some of the biggest musicians working, and nominees will be revealed closer to the show’s date.
2025 Tony Awards
When To Watch: June 8 at 8 p.m. ET
Where To Watch: CBS or with a Paramount+ subscription that includes a Showtime add-on
Host: Cynthia Erivo
Broadway’s biggest televised night will return for its 78th telecast on June 8, and it will be hosted by Broadway vet and Wicked movie star Cynthia Erivo. The Tony Awards will recognize the biggest plays and musicals on Broadway and feature performances from various musicals currently residing on The Great White Way. While nominations won’t come out for a while, shows like Sunset Blvd., Death Becomes Her, Romeo + Juliet, Maybe Happy Ending and many more could be among those recognized.
2025 Emmy Awards
When To Watch: TBD, Nominees will be announced in September
Where To Watch: CBS or with a Paramount+ subscription that includes a Showtime add-on
Host: TBD
Following 2024’s Emmys, which included massive wins for shows like Shōgun and Hacks, the 2025 Emmys should take place in September, as per usual.
The 2025 TV schedule is full of heavy hitters in the prestige realm as well as fan-favorites, like Stranger Things, The White Lotus, Wednesday, Yellowjackets, The Last of Us and so many more. So, you can expect this next telecast to be jam packed with star power.
MTV Movie Awards
When To Watch: 2025 (TBD)
The MTV Movie Awards will not happen this year. However, they aren’t gone for good. As Deadline reported, they are “skipping this year,” and the show will “return in a reimagined format in 2025.” So, while the big blockbusters and A-listers won’t be recognized at the show in 2024, it will be back in action next year.
The 2026 Golden Globes
When To Watch: TBD
Where To Watch: CBS or with a Paramount+ with Showtime subscription
Host: Nikki Glaser
Following a very successful 2025 Golden Globes – which included big winners like Shōgun, Hacks, The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez and more, the 2026 Globes should keep the good energy alive. I write that mostly because, last year’s host, Nikki Glaser is expected to return to emcee the night, per Variety. The stand-up comedian absolutely killed it this year, and audiences loved her. So, we’re hoping that good energy stays alive during the 2026 show.
As we learn more about these award shows and others pop up, we’ll be sure to keep you updated. Hosts, nominees and more specifics tend to be revealed in the couple of months before a given ceremony, so stay tuned to CinemaBlend for more details about all these upcoming events.
