Awards
The season's big prizes, with nominees and winners matched to Netflix titles you can open on this site.
FilmOscars
Academy Awards
The Academy Awards, better known as the Oscars, have been Hollywood's annual report card since 1929. Voted on by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, they remain the most watched film prizes in the world — Best Picture still the night's defining envelope.
Film & TVGolden Globes
Golden Globe Awards
The Golden Globes, handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's successor body, split film and television and separate drama from musical or comedy. The January ceremony is often treated as an early read on the Oscars — and a party in its own right.
FilmBAFTA
British Academy Film Awards
BAFTA is the British film academy's yearly night in London, a mix of home-grown craft prizes and a Best Film race that often rhymes with — and sometimes upsets — the Oscars. The mask trophy has been the UK industry's highest film honour since 1949.
TelevisionEmmys
Primetime Emmy Awards
The Primetime Emmys are television’s Oscars: a September night for drama, comedy, and limited series voted on by the Television Academy. Outstanding Drama and Comedy Series still set the temperature for the whole TV year.
Film & TVSAG Awards
Screen Actors Guild Awards
The SAG Awards are voted entirely by actors, which is why the ensemble prizes matter as much as the lead trophies. A SAG Cast win is still one of the better Oscar Best Picture tells — and the TV ensemble races are a snapshot of what working actors actually watch.
Film & TVCritics Choice
Critics Choice Awards
The Critics Choice Awards, from the Critics Choice Association (formerly the BFCA), sit between the Globes and the Oscars on the calendar. Best Picture is a broad critics’ poll; the TV trophies have become one of the more reliable pre-Emmy weather reports.
FilmSpirit Awards
Independent Spirit Awards
The Independent Spirit Awards celebrate American films made outside the studio machine — usually on a budget cap, often a day before the Oscars, and almost always on a beach in Santa Monica. Best Feature is the indie Best Picture.
FestivalCannes
Cannes Film Festival
Cannes is the film world's May summit: a competition on the Croisette, a marketplace in the Palais, and the Palme d'Or as its supreme prize. Winning Cannes does not guarantee an Oscar, but it still mints international reputations overnight.
FestivalVenice
Venice Film Festival
The world’s oldest film festival, Venice opens the fall awards season on the Lido. The Golden Lion is its top prize, and in recent years it has been a launchpad for films that later dominate the Oscars conversation.
FestivalBerlinale
Berlin International Film Festival
The Berlinale is winter’s major festival: public, political, and less red-carpet than Cannes. The Golden Bear, awarded since 1951, still marks a film as a serious international event.
FilmCésars
César Awards
France’s national film awards, named for sculptor César Baldaccini, are the French industry’s Oscars. Best Film (Meilleur film) is the headline prize in a ceremony that still treats cinema as a civic art.
