2013 Producers Guild of America (PGA) Awards – winners


The Producers Guild of America held their 24th Annual PGA Awards ceremony last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The winner of the The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures was Argo, produced by Ben Affleck, George Clooney and Grant Heslov. It won against competition from Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Les Misérables, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Moonrise Kingdom, Silver Linings Playbook, Skyfall, and Zero Dark Thirty. It recently captured Best Drama at the Golden Globe Awards. While also nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, Affleck was surprisingly not nominated for the Best Director Oscar which is leading to some confusion amongst the Oscar prognosticators.

The PGA winner for Animated Feature was Wreck-It Ralph. For Documentary, the winner was Searching For Sugar Man.

The Producers Guild presented special honours to Bob and Harvey Weinstein (Milestone Award), Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (David O. Selznick Achievement Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures), J.J. Abrams (Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television), Russell Simmons (Visionary Award) and Bully (Stanley Kramer Award).
