36th Producers Guild Awards


Yesterday, December 10th, the Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced the 2025 Documentary Motion Picture nominees that will advance to the final round of voting to define a winner of Saturday, February 8th, 2025 at the Fairmont Century Plaza.

As organizers noted, below films are in the process of being vetted for individual producer eligibility which gives me clue to remind all that in this blog the film director is always listed after the movie name.

It is a big surprise to not find No Other Land, an awards season favorite, in the nominees and I'm not sure the reason why. Went to read trade articles but all I could find is that was an omission and nothing about being disqualified. So, went to the official site to read the Rules and Procedures Mark Eligibility - Documentary Motion Pictures (to read them go here) and according to rules, No Other Land qualified. Seems was an omission. Sigh.

The Producers Guild Awards honors excellence in motion picture, television and emerging media productions, as well as the most notable names in the industry shaping the producing profession. Honorees this year include David O. Selznick Achievement Award for Chris Meledandri and Milestone Award for Dana Walden.

This announcement is the first the guild does for its awards, the second is on Friday, January 10th, 2025 when will announce the theatrical motion pictures nominations. It will be then when film producers nominees will be added to the list of nominees for 2025 Awards.
