The Producers Guild of America Awards are underway on a jam-packed awards weekend in L.A. that’s sure to provide some clarity for the upcoming Oscars race.
The PGA Awards are widely regarded as strong predictor for the Academy Awards, particularly in the best picture category. The PGA followed suit when the Academy expanded its lineup from five to 10 nominees in 2009. Since then, the guild’s nominations have been a good indicator of Oscar success, with eight of the 10 PGA nominees on average translating to nods at the Academy Awards.
That’s true this year as well: eight of the ten film nominees also earned Best Picture Oscar nods (“Anora,” “The Brutalist,” “A Complete Unknown,” “Conclave,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Emilia Pérez,” “The Substance” an “Wicked”). PGA nominees “A Real Pain” and “September 5” missed out on recognition in the category at the Oscars, with “I’m Still Here” and “Nickel Boys” snagging the remaining two slots.
Going into Saturday’s PGA Awards ceremony, Searchlight Pictures was the only studio to score two noms this year, with “A Real Pain” and “A Complete Unknown” both making the list.
Devastating wildfires in Southern California prompted both the PGA and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to extend voting deadlines last month, with the PGA postponing its nominations from Jan. 10 to the week of Jan. 13, and the Oscars shifting their nomination announcement from Jan. 17 to Jan. 23.
