37th Annual Producers Guild of America Awards Nominations

Yesterday, January 9, the PGA announced their award nominees for motion picture and television program categories.

Guild honorees this year are the following:
David O. Selznick Achievement Award to Amy Pascal
Milestone Award to Jason Blum
Norman Lear Achievement Award to Mara Brock Akil

Worth to notice that top honor, the Darryl F. Zanuck award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, is widely regarding as one of the strongest predictors of Oscar succes as has historically correlated closely with the Best Picture Oscar winner, with 17 of the previous 22 winners going to also win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

Consequently there is hope for Bugonia, Train Dreams, F1, and Weapons to gain Oscar glory -or at least a nomination- in Best Film category. Know Sentimental Value is still uncertain in the heads of industry pundits, who wonder why It Was Just An Accident or The Secret Agent are not nominated here, but I believe Joachim Trier's movie has very good chances to get a nomination as has one key factor in its favor, story is cinema related and Academy members tend to reward this type of stories.

Organizers will honor recipients on Saturday, February 28 at the Fairmont Century Plaza.
