The Producers Guild has unveiled nominations for its 30th annual PGA Awards, listing nominees for the year’s best-produced works in motion pictures, television and short-form categories. The awards will be presented January 19 at the Beverly Hilton.
The 10-strong film list encapsulates the diverse range of films that have been making their way through awards season this year, spanning superheroes (Disney/Marvel’s Black Panther), romantic comedy (Warner Bros’ Crazy Rich Asians), musical drama (20th Century Fox’s Bohemian Rhapsody and Warners’ A Star Is Born) and genre thriller (Paramount’s A Quiet Place).
Others making the cut in the category, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, which was won by eventual Oscar Best Picture The Shape of Water last year: Focus Features’ BlacKkKlansman, Fox Searchlight’s The Favourite, Netflix’s Roma (Alfonso Cuarón’s drama is a rare foreign-language selection from this guild), Universal’s Green Book and Annapurna’s political comedy Vice which leads all noms going into Sunday’s Golden Globes.
On the TV side, last year’s drama and comedy winners — Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, respectively — return to defend their crowns, as do fellow 2018 winners Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath(Nonfiction), Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (Talk) and The Voice(Competition).
The Nonfiction race this year includes CNN’s Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, with the host getting a nom for the show’s final season after his death in June.
The newest addition to the noms categories, for Outstanding Producer of Streamed or Televised Motion Pictures, includes HBO’s original pics Fahrenheit 451, My Dinner with Hervé and Paterno; Netflix’s finale movie Sense8: Together Until the End, and Amazon Prime’s King Lear. The category was split off this year from the Limited Series pile; that award now pits noms FX’s The Assassination of Gianni Versaceagainst Showtime’s Escape at Dannemora, Netflix’s Maniac, Amazon Prime’s The Romanoffs and HBO’s Sharp Objects.
