As the 31st annual Producers Guild Awards get underway Saturday night at The Hollywood Palladium hotel in Los Angeles, keep an eye on this page for updates as soon as the results roll in.
The winner of the PGA Awards’ top prize, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, has historically been a strong indicator of which film will go on to win the Best Picture Oscar. Since 1989, the PGA winner has matched up with the top Oscar 21 out of 30 times. (In early 2014, “12 Years a Slave” and “Gravity” tied at the PGAs; “12 Years a Slave” won the Oscar a few weeks later.)
Last year, Peter Farrelly’s controversial racial drama “Green Book” took the top PGA trophy before going on to win the Best Picture Oscar.
All nine Best Picture nominees are up for the top PGA Award this year. The guild also nominated a tenth film, Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out,” for its top award, which settled for an Original Screenplay Oscar slot.
On Friday, Bong Joon Ho’s acclaimed South Korean thriller “Parasite” and Taika Waititi’s Nazi satire “Jojo Rabbit” were surprise winners for the top prizes at the ACE Eddie Awards on Friday, for drama and comedy, respectively.
