Hollywood is kicking off the awards season, which will begin this Sunday with the Critics Choice Awards 2026. For several weeks, according to the Argentine News Agency, the audiovisual industry will focus on the films, series, artists, and productions that defined the past year. Far from being a single gala, the season unfolds a calendar that includes associations of critics, unions, and academies, each with its own symbolic weight. The ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and can be followed in the country through TNT and HBO Max, starting at 10 PM (Argentine time).
Music will take center stage on Sunday, February 1st, when the Grammy Awards, in their 68th edition, are held. Organized by The Recording Academy, the awards will once again be presented at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live for Argentina by TNT and HBO Max starting at 11 PM.
In the final stretch of the season, two key stops appear: the BAFTA Awards, which will be presented on Sunday, February 22nd in London and usually have a strong influence on the race to the Oscars; and the SAG Awards, given by the Screen Actors Guild, will be held on Sunday, March 1st and can be seen live on Netflix from 10 PM (Argentine time).
The definitive closure will come with the Oscars, the most prestigious event on the film calendar. Awarded by the specialized critics of the United States, these awards often anticipate trends and set the pulse for what can happen in the major ceremonies that follow. A week later, on Sunday, January 11th, it will be the turn of the Golden Globes, historically considered the prelude to the Oscars. The ceremony will be held on Sunday, March 15th at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and will be broadcast in Argentina by HBO Max and TNT from 9 PM.
In this journey, some productions solidify themselves as favorites, others resurface after months of silence, and several surprises are in search of an award. The starting kick will come this Sunday, January 4th, with the presentation of the Critics Choice Awards.
