The Producers Guild of America announced its list of nominees in sports, children’s and short-form programming categories on Friday. These nominees join the lineups for Documentary Feature and Innovation Award Finalists previously announced by the PGAs on Tuesday.
The nominees for The Award for Outstanding Sports Program include the third season of Chris Smith’s “100 Foot Wave,” a documentary series following big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara; and “Formula 1: Drive to Survive,” a popular racing docuseries often cited as an inspiration for the team behind this year’s fictional awards contender, “F1.”
In the lineup for The Award for Outstanding Children’s Program, “SpongeBob Squarepants” received its fifth nomination, while “Sesame Street,” which has won the award 12 times (with an additional win for “The Power of We: A Sesame Street Special” in 2021) returns to the nomination list this year after three wins in a row. Other nominees include the “Phineas and Ferb” revival and the new “Peanuts” special, “Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical.”
The Award for Outstanding Short-Form Program includes behind-the-scenes making-of programming for popular series that were recognized at this year’s Emmys ceremony — including “Adolescence: The Making of Adolescence,” “Hacks: Bit by Bit” and “The White Lotus: Unpacking the Episode.”
These series, specials and shorts join the documentary features nominated for the PGA Awards earlier this week, such as “My Mom Jayne: A Film by Mariska Hargitay,” “The Perfect Neighbor” and “The Tale of Silyan.”
