PGA ANNOUNCES MOTION PICTURE AND TELEVISION NOMINATIONS
LOS ANGELES (January 4, 2019) – The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced today motion picture and TV nominations for the 30th Producers Guild Awards presented by Cadillac. All 2019 PGA winners will be announced Saturday, January 19, 2019 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.
At this month’s event, the Producers Guild will also present special honors to Toby Emmerich (Milestone Award), Kevin Feige (David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures), Amy Sherman-Palladino (Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television), Kenya Barris (Visionary Award), and Jane Fonda (Stanley Kramer Award).
The 2019 Producers Guild Awards Co-Chairs are Donald De Line and Amy Pascal. Cadillac is the Presenting Sponsor of the event, Delta Air Lines is the sponsor of the Visionary Award, and GreenSlate is the sponsor of the Cocktail Reception.
The nominees for the Producers Guild Awards are widely regarded as indicators of eligibility for producing honors given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), the British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA), the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), and the Television Academy. In 1990, the PGA held the first-ever Golden Laurel Awards, which were renamed the Producers Guild Awards in 2002. Richard Zanuck and Lili Fini Zanuck took home the award for Best Produced Motion Picture for “Driving Miss Daisy,” establishing the Guild’s awards as a bellwether for the Oscars.
