The Producers Guild is out with the first nominees for its 35th annual Producers Guild Awards. Here are the seven films in the running for Outstanding Producer of a Documentary Motion Picture:
20 Days in Mariupol
American Symphony
Beyond Utopia
The Disappearance of Shere Hite
The Mother of All Lies
Smoke Sauna Sisterhood
Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)
The hardware will be handed out during Sunday, February 25 during the 2024 Producers Guild Awards. Details about the location and timing will come at a later date.
The PGA nominees for Sports, Children’s and Short Form TV Programs will be revealed December 15. The Theatrical Motion Pictures, Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures, Television Series/Specials, and Televised/Streamed Motion Pictures nominations will be announced Thursday, January 12.
HBO Max/CNN Films’ Navalny took the documentary motion picture prize at the 34th Producers Guild Awards back in February. That pic went on to score the Academy Award.
Last awards season, the Producers Guild also named A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once its best picture — a major stepping stone en route to the film’s Oscar triumph. The other 2023 PGA Awards film winners were Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio .
The nonprofit Producers Guild of America represents, protects and promotes the interests of more than 8,400 producers spanning film, television and emerging media. Its Producers Guild Awards honors excellence in motion picture and television productions, as well as the most notable names in the industry who are shaping the producing profession.
