Dick-van-dyke-- Dick Van Dyke will receive the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award at the SAGs on Jan. 27.

-- The Grammy Awards, which are smart enough to announce their nominations in primetime, will do so this year Dec. 5 on CBS.

-- The Golden Globes timetable is there for the timekeeping. Submission deadlines for potential contenders is Nov. 2. Nomination ballots, which will be mailed by Nov. 29, are due Dec. 10 for the Dec. 13 announcement. Final ballots will be mailed Dec. 24 and will be due from voters Jan. 9. The ceremony itself is Jan. 13 (on NBC live on each coast).

-- Documentary screenplay submissions for the Writers Guild Awards are being taken by the org now.

-- David Michaels has been named senior exec director for the Daytime Emmys, which will be looking to bounce back from last year's sub-million viewership on HLN.

-- Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and the AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs Documentary Festival have joined the list of film festivals chosen by the Producers Guild as qualifying events for the award of top producer of documentary theatrical motion picture.  Other exhibition methods include completing a weeklong commercial run in a theater located in a PGA sanctioned market or if the documentary premieres on national television.
