The Producers Guild of America is handing out its annual PGA Awards on Saturday night in Los Angeles. TheWrap will update the winners as they are announced.
In the first award of the night, “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” won the award for animated feature. Del Toro accepted the award and then immediately left the Beverly Hilton to head for UCLA’s Royce Hall, where the Annie Awards were taking place and his film was favored to win several more awards in that show devoted to animation.
“The White Lotus” won in the drama television category, one year after being nominated (and losing) in the PGA’s limited-series category. The move mirrored the Television Academy’s recent decision that the series no longer belonged in the Emmys’ Limited Series category and henceforth would be considered a drama series.
“Last Week Tonight With John Oliver” won in the live, variety, sketch, standup and talk television category.
Traditionally, the Producers Guild Award for Theatrical Motion Pictures is one of the most accurate predictors of the Best Picture Oscar. After 2009, when the PGA followed the Academy by expanding its slate of nominees from five to 10 and instituting ranked-choice voting to choose the winner, the two organization gave their top award to the same film for six consecutive years, part of an overall eight-year streak.
In the years since then, as the Academy has gotten significantly larger and more diverse, the two groups have matched four times and awarded different films three times. For the last two years, with “Nomadland” and then the dark-horse Oscar winner “CODA,” the PGA gave its award to the Oscar winner.
Also at the ceremony, honorary awards went to Tom Cruise (the David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures), Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy (the Milestone Award), Mindy Kaling (the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television) and the film “Till” (the Stanley Kramer Award).
