“One Battle After Another,” “Hamnet,” “Sinners,” “Marty Supreme” and “Frankenstein” continued their roll through awards season on Friday as the Producers Guild of America announced the nominations for its top awards.
Also nominated in the feature-film category, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures: “Bugonia,” “F1,” “Sentimental Value,” “Train Dreams” and “Weapons.”
The biggest surprises on the PGA list were “F1,” the auto-racing movie that had yet to receive a major film nomination, and “Weapons,” the indie horror film whose awards chances seemed tied to Amy Madigan’s supporting performance.
Two big-budget sequels that would ordinarily have been considered slam-dunk choices by the producers, “Avatar: Fire and Ash” and “Wicked: For Good,” were bypassed by PGA voters a few hours after they failed to make the cut on the BAFTA longlists.
Among the major guild awards that were announced on consecutive days this week, the Screen Actors Guild’s Actor Awards, the Directors Guild Awards and now the Producers Guild Awards, five films have been nominated by the DGA and PGA and in the ensemble-cast category at the Actor Awards: “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme,” “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners.”
Since the Academy and the Producers Guild both expanded to 10 Best Picture nominees in 2009, almost 90% of the Oscar nominees have first been nominated by the PGA. There has only been one instance of the two groups matching exactly, in 2024, when the 10 PGA nominees all went on to receive Oscar nods. (In 10 of the last 16 years, an exact match was impossible because the Academy nominated eight or nine films for Best Picture while the PGA retained a full slate of 10.)
The Producers Guild has been announcing nominees since 1991. In that time, “Braveheart” is the only film to win Best Picture at the Oscars without first being nominated by the guild.
In the animated-feature category, nominees were “The Bad Guys 2,” “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” “Elio,” “KPop Demon Hunters” and “Zootopia 2.”
Television nominees included “The Diplomat,” “The Pitt” and “Pluribus” in the drama category; “Hacks,” “The Studio” and “South Park” (!) in comedy; “Adolescence,” “The Beast in Me” and “Dying for Sex” in limited series; and “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” and “John Candy: I Like Me” in TV movie.
Voting in the children’s, short form and sports categories will end on Jan. 19, with winners announced during the week of Feb. 23. Voting in the television and film categories will end on Feb. 3 and winners will be announced at the 37th annual Producers Guild Awards on Feb. 28.
At that ceremony, honorary awards will be presented to Amy Pascal, Jason Blum and Mara Brock Akil.
