Producers Guild Announces 2011 Film and Television Nominees

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced today the television and motion picture nominations for the 2011 Producers Guild Awards, which will be handed out on Saturday, January 22.

Among the ten films nominated for the guild’s top award, the only difference right now between my current Best Picture predictions is the inclusion of The Town over Winter’s Bone. This is absolutely no surprise as I have The Town in the number 11 slot and it is certainly a contender for a Best Picture nomination. As matter of fact, I think it’s pretty much going to come down to the following ten films, plus Winter’s Bone for those ten Best Picture slots. I have a feeling we won’t be seeing any dark horse nominations this year.
