The Producers Guild Awards are usually one of the best measurements for figuring out what films will be nominated come Oscar time. Last year the Producers Guild nominations included eight of the ten films nominated for Best Picture of the Academy Awards and in the past many winners have matched up.
The Guild nominates 10 films for its outstanding producer award and the list fits in line with what has been happening through awards season so far: “Inception,” “Toy Story 3,” “The King’s Speech,” “True Grit,” “The Fighter,” “Black Swan,” “The Social Network,” “The Kids are All Right,” “The Town” and “127 Hours" will battle it out for the top prize.
I really can't disagree with any of the choices here, and I'm especially happy to see Ben Affleck's film "The Town" among the nominees. I thought the film was more than just a great action film and the performance of Jeremy Renner was absolutely great.
"The Social Network" is most likely the favorite to win this award since its been cleaning up all year so far, but "Black Swan", "The Fighter" and "True Grit" could pull it off as well.
Other film categories include for documentary and animated feature, the latter of which has three excellent films nominated. "Despicable Me", "How to Train Your Dragon", and "Toy Story 3" were tabbed for the award, and all three were more than deserving. While I expected greatness from "Toy Story 3" I was pleasantly surprised with how good both "Despicable Me" and "How to Train Your Dragon" were.
The PGA hands out its awards on January 22, while Oscar nominees will be named on January 25 and handed out February 27.
