It is a blockbuster morning as far as the Producers Guild of America is concerned as it revealed film and TV nominations Thursday for its 34th annual PGA Awards.<\/p>\n
Moneymaking sequels Avatar: The Way of Water; Top Gun: Maverick and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever along with commercial hits Elvis, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and Everything Everywhere All at Once all made the cut in nominations for the guild\u2019s marquee Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. Joining them on the list are Steven Spielberg\u2019s The Fabelmans, The Banshees of Inisherin, T\u00e1r and The Whale.<\/p>\n
With theatrical box office slowly recovering, and in some cases matching or exceeding pre-pandemic levels, the PGA is making a statement with a strong showing for hit movies including no less than four sequels \u2014 which may be a record number for the organization\u2019s film awards. The PGA has often shown favoritism to movies that scored at the box office as opposed to critics groups for instance, and the major studio presence is particularly strong this year with the Walt Disney Co accounting for Marvel\u2019s Black Panther sequel, 20th Century\u2019s long-awaited Avatar follow-up and Searchlight\u2019s Banshees; Universal with Fabelmans and Focus Features\u2019 T\u00e1r; Paramount repped by the 36-years-in-the-waiting Top Gun sequel; and Warners\u2019 Elvis.<\/p>\n
This stellar showing for the studios didn\u2019t leave much room for the indies, but A24 scored big as expected with the out-of-the-box sensation Everything Everywhere All at Once, and also perhaps with the most surprising nominee of the bunch The Whale, an intimate drama mostly discussed for Brendan Fraser\u2019s SAG Awards-nominated and Oscar-buzzed performance as a 600-pound man desperately trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter. Netflix made the list only with Rian Johnson\u2019s follow-up to his box office juggernaut Knives Out, which over the Thanksgiving holiday had an unorthodox full performance week of \u201csneak previews\u201d in the three major exhibition chains where it did very well, and now is climbing up the charts of the top movies to play on the streamer since it began its Netflix run just before Christmas.<\/p>\n
Netflix also has a front-runner among PGA\u2019s Animated Feature nominees with Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Pinocchio. Also nominated are Pixar\/Disney\u2019s Turning Red; DreamWorks\u2019 Puss In Boots: The Last Wish; A24, again playing in the big guys sandbox with Marcel the Shell With Shoes On; and in line with the PGA\u2019s love affair with money, 2022\u2019s biggest animated box office smash in Universal\/Illumination\u2019s Minions: The Rise of Gru, which landed its first major awards mention here.<\/p>\n
Not making the PGA list of top 10 films are Babylon, Triangle of Sadness, and foreign-language titles All Quiet on the Western Front, and India\u2019s RRR \u2014 the latter two have major Best Picture Oscar talk but the PGA rarely nominates foreign-language movies. Also missing are all of 2022\u2019s female-directed films including the much acclaimed Women Talking, The Woman King, Till and She Said, an unfortunate pattern set Wednesday with the DGA announcement.<\/p>\n
The PGA has a strong track record in matching the Oscars as both have a set 10 nominees for Best Picture. Last year PGA matched eight out of 10 with the Oscars (for whom they also vet the eligible producers), and both groups agreed on the Best Picture winner, CODA. The year before they also matched with Nomadland, and for 2018 with Green Book. For 2019, however, the PGA chose 1917, while the Academy went with Parasite.<\/p>\n
On the TV side, with last year\u2019s drama (Succession) and comedy (Ted Lasso) winners not in the mix, the marquee categories are up for grabs. For the Norman Felton Award for drama, the nominees are all newcomers to the race: the final seasons of AMC\u2019s Better Call Saul and Netflix\u2019s Ozark along with Disney+\u2019s Andor, Apple TV+\u2019s Severance and HBO Max\u2019s The White Lotus. The latter competed in the limited series category a year ago.<\/p>\n
With White Lotus moved over, the Limited Series noms are Netflix\u2019s Dahmer \u2013 Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and Inventing Anna, Hulu\u2019s The Dropout and Pam & Tommy, and Disney+\u2019s Obi-Wan Kenobi.<\/p>\n
In the race for the Danny Thomas award for comedy, nominees include ABC\u2019s Abbott Elementary which won at the Golden Globes earlier this week along with HBO Max\u2019s Barry and Hacks, FX\u2019s The Bear and Hulu\u2019s Only Murders in the Building.<\/p>\n
Two winners from a year ago are back in their respective categories: HBO\u2019s Emmy champ Last Week Tonight With John Oliver returns with a nom in Live Entertainment\/Variety\/Sketch\/Stand-up\/Talk Television, while RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race is back to defend in the Outstanding Producers of Game & Competition Television field, where it faces among others Prime Video\u2019s Lizzo\u2019s Watch Out For the Big Grrrls which took the Competition Program Emmy in September.<\/p>\n
