The 34th annual Producers Guild Awards are underway Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton, capping a week of nominees celebrations and early award handouts honoring the PGA’s best in motion pictures and TV.
The night’s first award, for Outstanding Producer of Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures, has already gone to Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio from Netflix. Last year’s winner in the category, Disney’s Encanto, when on to take the Oscar in the Animated Feature race.
The night’s top TV drama award, the Norman Felton Award for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, went to HBO’s The White Lotus, a nominee last year when it was categorized as an anthology series.
Another HBO show scored when Last Week Tonight with John Oliver won for the eighth year in a row, this time in the guild’s expanded Live Entertainment, Variety, Sketch, Standup & Talk Television category.
Check out the winners list below as we update it throughout the chock-full evening.
Later tonight, a winner will be revealed in the PGA’s marquee Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures category. That nominees list includes Warner Bros’ Elvis, A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick, and Disney’s Avatar: The Way of Water and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Of that group, only Black Panther 2 failed to make the Best Pic Oscar nominees list.
Last year, Apple’s CODA gained major momentum by winning the top PGA honor, on its way to winning Oscar’s Best Picture.
Also part of tonight’s ceremony, Tom Cruise will receive the guild’s honorary David O. Selznick Achievement Award during the Saturday event, while Mindy Kaling will receive the Norman Lear Achievement Award, Warner Bros. Pictures Group CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy will receive the Milestone Award, and Till will receive the Stanley Kramer Award.
The TV races to be decided Saturday will feature nominees including HBO’s The White Lotus, Netflix’s Ozark and Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, and Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.
