With awards season in full swing, both the Screen Actors Guild and the Producers Guild of America handed out prizes for their favorites of 2012 this past weekend. The big winner at both ceremonies turned out to be Ben Affleck‘s Argo, which had also previously picked up Golden Globes for Best Director and Best Motion Picture – Drama earlier this month. That positions Argo at the front of this year’s Best Picture Oscar race, though if it wins, it’ll be the rare film to do so without getting a Best Director nomination. Only three films in Oscar history have managed to win Best Picture without an accompanying Best Director nomination, the last to do so being Driving Miss Daisy in 1989.
Other notable victories in the film categories included Searching for Sugar Man and Wreck-It Ralph at the PGA Awards, and Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones), Silver Linings Playbook (Jennifer Lawrence), and Les Miserables (Anne Hathaway) at the SAG Awards. Small screen winners included Homeland and Game Change. Hit the jump to read the full list of awards. Read More »

For those keenly interested in the award season race, here’s the first big upset of the year: the winner of the Producer’s Guild of America (PGA) Producer of the Year award for films released in 2010 — aka the organization’s Best Picture award — is The King’s Speech. That represents a big upset over The Social Network, and seems to dramatically alter predictions for the Oscar race. The full list of winners is after the break. Read More »
Two big guild award nomination sets are being announced today, the first being those from the Producers Guild of America, with the Writers Guild nods to come not long from now.
The PGA nominations are widely seen as an indicator of what we can expect in the Best Picture Oscar race — ten films get the Producer’s Guild nod, and if they don’t exactly mirror the ten pictures nominated for Oscar, the Oscar list isn’t likely to deviate much. Almost all the pictures you’d expect to be on this list are on it — hit the jump for the full details. Read More »
One of the last two serious barometers for the potential Oscar race is the nomination list for the Best Picture award, aka the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures, bestowed by the Producers Guild of America. Ten films are nominated this year, and the shortlist is actually a bit surprising. Three big sci-fi films made the cut, and Up landed in both the primary theatrical nomination list, and the animated list. If this is truly an indicator of many of the likely Best Picture Oscar nominees, it’ll be an interesting ceremony. Read More »
