Pete Hammond Awards Columnist/Chief Film CriticThe AFI Awards, always a highlight of the awards season and usually held around the first week or so in January, is moving its date to Friday, February 26, 2021.

That puts it again on the same weekend timing as the Golden Globes, which have moved their date to February 28, and two months before the Oscars which has moved to April 25.

All this juggling of the season is in relation to the continuing coronavirus pandemic that has turned the industry on its head since March and sees no end in sight.The AFI Awards is unique in that it honors the teams behind 10 movies and 10 television programs that a specially chosen panel of critics and industry experts has deemed the best of the year.
