The Producers Guild Awards has awarded a documentary motion picture honor for 17 years. And, often, the PGA nominees do not line up with their peers in The Academy. That looks to be the case again as the PGA released its 2025 noms which include “Porcelain War” and “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.”
The other four nominees are “Gaucho Gaucho,” “Mediha,” “Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa,” and “We Will Dance Again.” Shockingly, “No Other Land” which already received the equivalent honor from the Gotham Awards, the New York Film Critics Circle, and the LA Film Critics was not recognized. Nor was “Sugarcane” which won the NBR Award for Best Documentary and was the Grand Jury Prize winner for U.S. Documentary at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Other snubbed documentaries include “Will & Harper,” “Dahomey,” and “Seeking Mavis Beacon.”
The nominees for Sports, Children’s, and Short Form Television Programs will be announced on Friday. The nominees for Theatrical Motion Pictures, Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures, Television Series/Specials, and Televised/Streamed Motion Pictures will be announced on Friday, January 10.
The PGA Awards will be held on Saturday, February 8 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Beverly Hills.
The films nominated for Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Pictures are as follows:
Gaucho Gaucho
Mediha
Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa
Porcelain War
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
We Will Dance Again
Note: These films are in the process of being vetted for individual producer eligibility.
