The Producers Guild of America handed out their awards Saturday night and it’s a lot more of the same-old, same-old as Slumdog Millionaire wins the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award, WALL•E wins the Animated award and Man on Wire wins the Documentary Award.
Slumdog Millionaire beat out the likes of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Dark Knight, Frost/Nixon and Milk and thankfully my Slumdog prediction over at Gold Derby held up, but will my prediction of David Fincher taking the Directors Guild of America Award next Saturday, January 31, hold up?
Tom O’Neil at Gold Derby hasn’t posted the rest of the pundits’ picks for the DGAs just yet so I will have to wait to see just how my prediction on that one stacks up to everyone else, but 12 of the 17 picking the PGAs went with Slumdog while the other five went with Button.
We’ll have to wait and see on that one, but for now here is the complete list from Saturday’s PGAs.
