5 days ago 4

After being postponed as a result of the Southern California wildfires that have leveled parts of Los Angeles this past week, the nominations for the Producers Guild Awards were announced today, with the ceremony still scheduled to take place Saturday, February 8 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

Facing off this year in the category of Theatrical Motion Picture are the producers for “The Brutalist,” “A Complete Unknown, “Conclave,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Emilia Pérez,” “A Real Pain,” “September 5,” “The Substance,” and “Wicked.”

Named for one of the original producers and studio executives, a man responsible for films such as “The Jazz Singer” and “The Grapes of Wrath,” the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures has long been considered an accurate predictor of Best Picture Oscar winners, with 14 of the past 20 recipients going on to claim the top prize at the Academy Awards, including “Oppenheimer,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “CODA,” and “Nomadland.”
