The Producers Guild of America has officially announced its nominees for the prestigious Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award in Theatrical Motion Picture, ahead of the 24th annual Producers Guild Awards being held on January 24th. The awards are usually a good indicator of what to expect at the Academy Awards, for which the nominations will be revealed on January 10th. The below list contains many of the predicted choices for Best Picture (such as
Zero Dark Thirty,
Les Misérables and
Argo), but the biggest surprise is that the 23rd James Bond film,
Skyfall, is among the ten nominees. Could this be the first time that a 007 movie will get a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars? We'll see. Quentin Tarantino's
Django Unchained is also nominated by the PGA, and you can check out the full list of nominations below.
