First came SAG, then came the DGA, and now, the Producers Guild of America has revealed their year-end honors. The nominees for the 35th annual PGA Awards featured many familiar titles across film and television. At the top were expected Oscar and Emmy winners such as “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Succession,” “The Bear” and “Beef.”

The nominees for the organization’s top award, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, include “Anatomy of a Fall,” “American Fiction,” “Barbie,” “The Holdovers,” “Poor Things,” “Past Lives,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Oppenheimer,” “Maestro,” and “The Zone of Interest.”
Films that had their hopes dashed not making the PGA cut include “The Color Purple,” “All of Us Strangers,” “Saltburn,” “Origin,” “The Iron Claw,” and “Air.”
This is the only category where the PGA awards ten nominees, and it’s important to note they historically do not line up with the ten nominees for Best Picture. Last year, PGA nominees “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and “The Whale” did not earn Best Picture nods. In 2022, “Being the Ricardos” and “Tick, Tick…BOOM!” did not make the Academy Awards cut. In 2021, “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” and “One Night in Miami…” were PGA nominees only. 2020, the last year with a flexible number of Best Picture nominees, saw “Knives Out” only earn PGA recognition. Which PGA nominee won’t make the Best Picture field this year? Place your bets.
On the television side, the episodic drama category nominees include “Succession,” “The Last of Us,” “The Morning Show,” “The Diplomat,” and “The Crown.” The comedy category nominees include “Barry,” “The Bear,” “Jury Duty,” “Only Murders in the Building,” and “Ted Lasso.” The limited series nominees are “All The Light We Cannot See” (crazy), “Beef,” “Daisy Jones and the Six,” “Fargo,” and “Lessons in Chemistry.”
The 35th PGA Awards will be held on Sunday, February 25.
