The Producers Guild of America announced on Wednesday that it will be holding its 35th Annual Producers Guild Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on February 25, 2024.
The Producers Guild Awards is a major predictor for the Academy Awards as a vast number of the voting members of the PGA are also members of the producers branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Thirteen of the last sixteen winners of the PGA’s Best Theatrical Motion Picture Award have gone on to win the Oscar for Best Picture, including this year’s winner, “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The PGA Awards are also a predictor for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, as the last eight winners in that category have also won at this ceremony.
The Producers Guild Awards also honor the top shows in various genres of television, with HBO’s “The White Lotus” winning this year’s Norman Felton Award for Best Episodic Drama. Other TV awards recipients 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, with Mindy Kaling receiving the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television, and Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group heads Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy receiving the Milestone Award. Chinonye Chukwu’s true story drama “Till,” which was snubbed at the Oscars, received the PGA’s Stanley Kramer Award, given to films that explore provocative real-life issues.
Interestingly, this date is the same day as the Independent Spirit Awards, which announced their premiere date last week. In this case one awards show will air in the afternoon and the other in the evening.
Nominations in the top film and television categories for next year’s awards will run from December 21 to January 11, with nominees being announced on January 12. Other key dates can be read below:
