Awards Season 2023: Producers Guild Awards (PGA) Nominations


Just a quick one today (as the actress said to the bishop) as the nominations for the 34th Producers Guild of America (PGA) Awards were announced earlier.

Here they are:

The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures
Avatar: The Way of Water
The Banshees of Inisherin
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Elvis
Everything Everywhere All at Once
The Fabelmans
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Tár
Top Gun: Maverick
The Whale

Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
Minions: The Rise of Gru
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Turning Red

Outstanding Producer of Documentary Theatrical Motion Pictures 
(previously announced)
All That Breathes
Descendant
Fire Of Love
Navalny
Nothing Compares
Retrograde
The Territory

A couple of interesting additions for Best Picture: I'm pleased to see both Glass Onion and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever mentioned, with The Whale also a surprise nominee. I think a lot of people were surprised by the omission of Women Talking and Babylon. Whether the Academy will follow suit, who knows? That's all part of the fun.

When the Documentary nominees were announced just before Christmas, there was some surprise that two highly-regarded documentaries, both hyped up for Oscar nominations, were not on the list: they are Moonage Daydream (about David Bowie) and All The Beauty And The Bloodshed (about photographer Nan Goldin and her fight to hold a major pharmaceuticals company accountable for the opioid epidemic). It has, however, been noted that the PGA is not always the best prognosticator of the Documentary Feature category at the Oscars, so both may still get a nod come 24th January. 

The PGAs will be given out on Saturday 25th February 2023

Congratulations to all nominees!

Next stop on the awards season hype-train is the Critics Choice Awards, which will be handed out on Sunday (15th January).
