Producers Guild Nominees Announced
Hot on the heels of the Golden Globe awards, the Producers Guild of America has announed its five contenders for its Best Picture award: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Juno, Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood.
Four of the five films also previously received Directors Guild nominations (Juno was passed over for Into the Wild by the DGA), and all films received multiple Golden Globe nods.
The last of the major guild awards, the PGA honors effectively put the kibosh on such hopeful Oscar contenders as Atonement, Charlie Wilson’s War and Sweeney Todd, which received no love from the Directors Guild, the Screen Actors Guild or the Writers Guild.
While the nominations from the guild aren’t exact precursors for the Academy Awards, a majority of guild members are also Academy voters.
Bee Movie, Ratatouille, and The Simpsons Movie were nominated for the PGA’s animated film award, while Body of War, Hear and Now, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, Sicko, and White Light/Black Rain are in competition for the documentary award.
