The nominations for this year’s Producer’s Guild of America awards are in. These puppies give us a good idea as to what may be nominated in the Best Picture category come Oscar time, and ‘Avatar’, ‘The Hurt Locker’, ‘Up in the Air’, and ‘Precious’, are among the ten nominees for the Producers Guild of America’s top film honour, the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award.
The big surprise is the absence of the tipped Rob Marshall flick ‘Nine’ and the inclusion of sci-fi-ers ‘District 9’ and ‘Star Trek’.
The gongs will be dished out at a gala ceremony on January 24 at the Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles.
