The Producers Guild of America announced Wednesday that it will hold its 35th annual event Producers Guild Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on February 25, 2024.
The Producers Guild Awards are a major predictor of the Academy Awards, as a large number of the PGA’s voting members are also members of the Producer Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Thirteen of the past sixteen winners of the PGA’s Best Picture Theatrical Award have won the Best Picture Oscar, including this year’s winner, “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The PGA Awards also bodes well for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, as the last eight winners in that category have also done so at this ceremony.
The Producers Guild Awards also honor the best shows in various television genres, with HBO’s “The White Lotus” winning this year’s Norman Felton Award for Best Episodic Drama. Other television award winners include FX’s “The Bear,” HBO’s “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” Hulu’s “The Dropout” and CNN’s “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy.”
At this year’s awards ceremony, “Top Gun: Maverick” star Tom Cruise was honored with the David O. Selznick Lifetime Achievement Award, Mindy Kaling received the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television and Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group is headed by Michael De Luca. and Pamela Abdy receiving the Milestone Award. The drama based on the true story of Chinonye Chukwu, “Till,” which was rejected at the Oscars, received the PGA’s Stanley Kramer Award, given to films that explore provocative real-life themes.
Interestingly, this date is the same day as the Independent Spirit Awards, which announced its premiere date last week. In this case, one awards ceremony will be broadcast in the afternoon and the other in the evening.
Nominations in major film and television categories for next year’s awards will run from December 21 to January 11, with nominees announced on January 12. Other key dates can be read below:
