‘Wicked,’ ‘Emilia Pérez,’ ‘A Complete Unknown’ & More Vying for 2025 Producers Guild of America Nominations: Full List
Two musicals (Wicked and Emilia Pérez) and the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown are among the 10 films nominated for best theatrical motion picture by the Producers Guild of America.
Since its inception in 1990, the PGA Award for best theatrical motion picture has gone to the subsequent Oscar winner for best picture on all but 10 occasions. The last time the two award bodies diverged was in 2020, when the PGA award went to 1917, but the Oscars favored Parasite.
The PGA expanded the number of nominees for its top award from five to 10 in 2010, the same year the Oscars made a similar expansion.
The Greatest Night in Pop, a Netflix film about the 1985 “We Are the World” recording session, is nominated for outstanding producer of televised or streamed motion pictures. The film was nominated for three Primetime Emmys last year, including outstanding documentary or nonfiction special, and is currently nominated for a Grammy for best music film.
The Voice is among the nominees for outstanding producer of game & competition television. It is competing with The Amazing Race, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Top Chef and The Traitors.
Final ballots for TV and film categories will close on Thursday, Jan. 30, at 2 p.m. PT. Winners in these categories will be announced at the 36th annual Producers Guild Awards, which will be held on Feb. 8 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Final ballots for children’s, short form, and sports programs will close on Monday, Jan. 20, at 2 p.m. PT. Winners in these categories will be announced at the guild’s nominee events in New York and Los Angeles the week of Feb. 3.
At the Producers Guild Awards ceremony in February, the guild will also present special honors to Chris Meledandri (David O. Selznick Achievement Award), Dana Walden (Milestone Award), Taika Waititi (Norman Lear Achievement Award) and Lynda Obst and Paula Weinstein (Trailblazer Award).
The 2025 Producers Guild Awards event chairs are Mike Farah and Joe Farrell.
