“Arrival,” “Deadpool,” “Fences,” “Hacksaw Ridge,” “Hell or High Water,” “Hidden Figures,” “La La Land,” “Lion,” “Manchester by the Sea,” and “Moonlight” have been nominated for the Producers Guild of America’s top movie award.
Awards contenders “Silence,” “Jackie,” “Sully,” “Loving,” “Captain Fantastic,” “Nocturnal Animals,” “20th Century Women,” and “Florence Foster Jenkins” were overlooked by voters for the PGA’s Darryl F. Zanuck Award. The winner will be announced on Jan. 28 at the guild’s 28th annual awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
“Finding Dory,” “Kubo and the Two Strings,” “Moana,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” and “Zootopia” received nominations on Tuesday for the PGA’s top animated feature.
“La La Land” has emerged as a front-runner in the season, with seven wins, setting a record on Sunday for the most Golden Globes nabbed by a film –including best picture — musical or comedy — then led the BAFTA nominations on Tuesday morning with 11. “Moonlight” won the Golden Globe for best drama.
“Deadpool” and “Lion” were the biggest surprises among the nominees — though “Deadpool” gained momentum last week with an adapted screenplay nomination from the Writers Guild of America. The Ryan Reynolds action-comedy is by far the top grosser among the PGA nominees with $783 million worldwide.
