Oppenheimer wins best theatrical feature at Producers Guild of America awards, positioning itself as a frontrunner for the best picture Oscar, while Past Lives dominates the Independent Spirit awards with best film and best director wins. Succession and The Bear also win top awards, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph continues her successful run to the Academy awards.
The Producers Guild of America announced the nominees for the 2024 PGA Awards, including contenders for outstanding theatrical motion pictures, animated films, and episodic television in drama, comedy, limited series, and more. The awards ceremony will take place on February 25, with Martin Scorsese set to receive the David O. Selznick Achievement Award and Charles D. King to receive the Milestone Award.
The 2024 Producers Guild of America Awards nominations have been announced, featuring international titles "Anatomy of a Fall" and "The Zone of Interest" alongside familiar Oscar contenders like "Barbie," "Oppenheimer," and "Killers of the Flower Moon." Notable omissions include "The Color Purple" and "May December." Netflix leads in TV nominations with "The Crown" and "The Last of Us," while the documentary feature nominees include "American Symphony" and "Beyond Utopia." The winners will be recognized at the 35th Annual Producers Guild Awards on Feb. 25.
The Producers Guild of America's nominations often mirror the Academy Awards, but with some notable exceptions. While the two groups tend to overlap on most nominees, they diverge on a few titles each year, with the PGA favoring big, commercial studio projects and the Academy opting for low-budget indies, non-English language films, and late-year releases. This year's potential shoo-ins for nominations from both groups include American Fiction, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, and Poor Things. The PGA may be more inclined to nominate Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and The Color Purple, while the Academy might favor Anatomy of a Fall or The Zone of Interest. The final nominations will be announced on Jan. 12 and Jan. 23, respectively.
