The Producers Guild of America Awards nominations for 2024 have showcased a historic moment with the inclusion of two international films, “Anatomy of a Fall” directed by Justine Triet and “The Zone of Interest” by Jonathan Glazer. This marks the first occasion where the PGA has nominated two international titles, signaling a notable shift in the awards landscape.
A Blend of Expected and Surprising Nominations
The list of nominees aligns with many Oscar predictions, featuring films such as “American Fiction,” “Barbie,” “The Holdovers,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Oppenheimer,” “Past Lives,” and “Poor Things.” However, the presence of A24’s “Past Lives” and “The Zone of Interest” stands out, especially after the indie distributor’s absence from the SAG nominations. A24 is the only studio with two films in the top category this year.
Reflection on Past PGA and Oscar Correlations
Historically, the PGA’s nominations have been a reliable predictor of the Oscar Best Picture lineup, especially after both expanded their best picture categories to 10 nominees in 2009. However, discrepancies have occurred, most notably last year when only seven of the PGA nominees made it to the Oscars list. This year’s lineup, heavily predicted to mirror the Oscars, might see one or two films missing the cut based on past trends.
Notable Snubs and Surprises
The musical “The Color Purple,” “May December,” and “Air” were among the significant omissions this year. In the animated feature category, big names like “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” were recognized, while Netflix’s “Nimona” and “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget” were notably snubbed.
TV Category and Documentary Features
Netflix leads the TV nominations with series like “All the Light We Cannot See,” “The Crown,” and “Beef.” HBO Max also made a strong showing with “The Last of Us” and “Succession.” The documentary feature category includes Oscar-shortlisted films such as “American Symphony” and “Beyond Utopia,” along with other notable titles.
Upcoming Awards Ceremony
The winners will be announced at the 35th Annual Producers Guild Awards on February 25, with the ceremony produced by Anchor Street Collective and executive-produced by Branden Chapman and Carleen Cappelletti.
