She produced Spider-Man: No Way Home which at $1.92 billion worldwide is the 8th highest grossing movie ever.
“Amy exemplifies the essential qualities of a truly great producer: impeccable taste, a keen eye for extraordinary talent both in front of and behind the camera, and an unwavering determination fueled by deep passion,” said PGA Presidents Donald De Line and Stephanie Allain. “Her films are masterclasses in storytelling – seamlessly blending compelling entertainment with thought-provoking ideas – and many have become lasting cultural touchstones.”
“Producing has been the great joy of my professional life, and to receive this honor from the Producers Guild, among so many legendary peers I deeply respect, is incredibly moving,” said Pascal. “David O. Selznick was the kind of producer who believed in ambition, imagination, and taking risks, and to be awarded in his name is a reminder that producing isn’t just about making movies – it’s about championing bold stories and carrying forward a legacy of daring, visionary filmmaking. I’m so grateful for the PGA and its commitment to protecting and celebrating the craft of producing, and for the extraordinary collaborators, colleagues and mentors who’ve supported me on this journey.”
