The ongoing coronavirus pandemic had an impact on many industries, including entertainment. It had led to many events being postponed and canceled.

Cinemas and theaters around the globe closed due to the coronavirus. The studios repeatedly postponed release dates and film festivals scrapping plans or moving online, prompting awards bodies to postpone their ceremonies.

This year's awards season for 2021 is carrying on with the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, GRAMMYs and others holding presenting ceremonies like no other while prioritizing the public health and safety of all the participants.

Below, "SEE" provides a handy awards season guide, to help you keep up to date and what is to expect for the Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys, BAFTA Awards and more.

Golden Globes

The awards ceremony launched the Hollywood awards season for 2021, with the Academy Awards to be hosted on April 25, not very far off.
