Before academy members beginning voting for Oscar nominations on Jan. 5, we will have heard from the film editors, writers and art directors with their contenders for the best of the year. And the same day that the ballots for the Academy Awards go live, the producers will chime in with their choices.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. members finish voting on Jan. 3 and the winners of the 75th annual Golden Globes will be unveiled five days later. That day also marks the close of voting for the BAFTA Awards nominations (that slate will be unveiled on Jan. 9.) Prior to the Jan. 12 deadline for this first stage of voting for the Oscars, the Critics’ Choice Awards will have taken place. And the the directors and producers guilds will all announce their nominees in the week preceding this cut-off.

Note: Winners events are in gold while nomination announcements are italicized.
