WONDER WOMAN Scores A Producers Guild Of America Nomination As Oscar Buzz Ramps Up
The PGA is considered to be one of the most reliable Academy Awards precursors out there, and Wonder Woman's nomination has led to speculation that Patty Jenkins' film may be in line for some Oscar love..
The Producers Guild of America has announced its film and television nominees for the 29th annual PGA Awards, and Patty Jenkins' critically acclaimed Wonder Woman has been nominated for The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures.
Because The PGA is generally considered to be a reliable gauge for which movies will receive Oscar noms (the PGA and the Academy have chosen the same best picture winner 75 percent of the time), many are taking this as a sign that Diana's first solo adventure could be a legitimate contender in the Best Picture race.
Academy voters are notoriously stuffy when it comes to comic book-based movies, however, so this might be wishful thinking.
